Impact of forest fragmentation on the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in selected tree species and associated rhizosphere in the Taita Hills, Kenya.
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
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbionts that are ubiquitous in natural ecosystems. They are crucial in maintaining plant communities by enhancing the uptake of nutrients and water as well as acting as major drivers of seedling recruitment. This study established the mycorrhizal colonization status of common tree species and the diversity of AMF communities across three forest fragments of the Taita Hills. Fine roots of seedlings and rhizosphere soils were sampled across circular plots in forest fragments (Chawia, Fururu and Ngangao) representing low, moderate and high levels of disturbances, respectively. The AMF colonization status was significantly different across tree species ranging between 43.3% and 90.5% with predominance of Glomus spp. from molecular analysis. The spore density of AMF was highest in the most disturbed forest while, Shannon diversity index (H- 1.3-1.5) did not differ significantly revealing AMF community resilienceto fragmentation. The outcome highlights the potential of native AMF in restoration and conservation of Afromontane forests.
