Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can increase the concentration of per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in cereal crops.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Contamination of agricultural soils with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is now widespread and common throughout the world due to management practices such as biosolid application. Crop and pasture plants can readily take up and accumulate PFAS in their tissues, which eventually end up in food products or livestock feed and lead to health issues. This study investigated how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi affect plant PFAS uptake in three important cereal crop species (barley, bread wheat, durum wheat), using a combination of soils that were artificially spiked or naturally contaminated with PFAS. Spiking soil with PFAS did not interfere with AM colonisation of roots, nor did it detrimentally affect plant biomass. However, the shoots of all three plant species accumulated high concentrations of multiple short- and long-chain PFAS compounds. Inoculation with AM fungi led to increased concentration of all measured PFAS compounds in durum wheat shoots, the highest being PFBS at 5.2 ng g
