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

Fully mycoheterotrophic orchids depend on fungus-derived carbon. Associations with wood- and litter-decaying saprotrophic (SAP) fungi have been reported mainly in fully mycoheterotrophic orchids from warm, humid forests, whereas ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi commonly support fully mycoheterotrophic orchids in boreal and temperate forests. For example, the subtropical and tropical Epipogium roseum associates with wood-decaying Psathyrellaceae fungi, whereas the cool-temperate E. aphyllum associates with ECM fungi, including Inocybe. Field observations suggest possible SAP associations in E. japonicum in cool-temperate to subalpine forests in Japan, based on its frequent occurrence near decaying logs and coarse woody debris. Here, we characterized the fungal associates and carbon sources of E. japonicum from moist ravines and compared them with those of nearby E. aphyllum from ECM-dominated coniferous forests. We combined high-throughput ITS2 metabarcoding with δ
