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

Microbial communities in the phyllosphere are key players in plant health and disease resistance, yet their response to agricultural management strategies remains poorly understood under field conditions. Here, we compare fungal community composition and diversity across conventional and organic apple orchards using ITS amplicon sequencing. Leaf samples were collected from six sites at three distinct time points during the 2023 growing season (in May, July, and August) corresponding approximately to monthly intervals throughout the summer. Flower samples were collected from the same trees in May. Our analyses reveal that agricultural management strategies are significantly associated with fungal community structure, with effects intensifying from May to July. Both types of management strategies showed enrichment for different genera known to include common apple tree pathogens:
