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

Grassland ecosystems harbor diverse plant-associated fungal communities that contribute to ecosystem functioning and plant health. However, large-scale culture-based inventories of root-invading fungi across multiple grassland regions in China remain scarce. In this study, we conducted a multi-region survey of culturable root-invading fungi isolated from surface-sterilized, discolored root and basal stem tissues in contact with the soil. We sampled 33 herbaceous plant species, representing 19 genera and 9 families, across 17 counties in Qinghai, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Xizang. A total of 273 fungal isolates were preserved and identified using ITS sequence analysis complemented by morphological observations. These isolates were classified into 40 genera and 53 species-level taxa spanning several major fungal lineages. A limited number of genera, including
