1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The plant microbiota plays important roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Wasabi (Eutrema japonicum), a traditional crop indigenous to Japan, remains poorly characterized in terms of its associated bacterial community. In the present study, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed distinct bacterial community structures across plant and soil compartments. The rhizome microbiota, the edible plant organ used as a spice, exhibited intermediate characteristics between those of the root and leaf microbiota. These results provide fundamental insights into the wasabi-associated bacterial microbiota and identify the rhizome as a distinct microbial niche.
