Isolation and identification of dark septate endophytes from sorghum roots and the effects of
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Introduction: Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are root-associated fungi that can enhance host stress tolerance, yet their diversity and function in sorghum remain unclear. Here, we investigated the culturable DSE community across 29 sorghum varieties and evaluated the symbiotic potential of key isolates. Methods: Culturable DSE were isolated from sorghum rhizosphere soil and roots via plate isolation, microscopy, and colonization assessment to screen efficient colonizers. Pot experiments then analyzed symbiotic compatibility with major Chinese cultivars to identify strains with high colonization efficiency. Finally, the selected strain was evaluated for salt tolerance and its effects on drought resistance, growth promotion, and low-fertility tolerance in seedlings. Results and discussion: A total of 94 DSE isolates were obtained, accounting for 30.72% of the total fungal isolates, and were classified into 30 morphotypes. The genus
