Mycorrhizal association impacts fitness of epiphytic orchids
Article in PeerJ, 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
The evolutionary association between mycorrhizae and plants has a long history, with effects on plant development that can be positive, negative, or neutral. In the case of some epiphytes, such as certain orchids, the interaction with mycorrhizal fungi is essential for seed germination, as these seeds rely on nutrients provided by the fungi. During the early developmental stages (protocorms and seedlings), this association is obligate. Although it has been suggested that the relationship remains important in later stages, substantial evidence is still lacking. Understanding this relationship is crucial to determine how mycorrhizae contribute to plant growth, reproduction, and survival under natural environmental conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the interaction between the degree of mycorrhizal colonization, the functional state of the pelotons (mycorrhizal colonization structures in the roots) and abiotic factors with reproductive success, seed viability, plant development, and survival of
