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

MAIN

conclusionGR24 enhances wheat performance by optimizing plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) interactions. Signaling molecules such as strigolactones (SLs) play essential regulatory roles in the rhizosphere by facilitating plant-soil communication and strengthening plant-microbe interactions. These molecules are crucial for promoting AMF colonization and the stable establishment of a symbiotic association, thereby supporting plant adaptation under stress conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of seed priming with the synthetic strigolactone analogue GR24 to enhance AMF colonization, nutrient uptake, and the morpho-physiological performance of wheat. A factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design under greenhouse conditions, with four GR24 concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 μM) and two AMF inoculation treatments (with and without AMF). Results showed that the addition of 5 μM GR24 combined with AMF significantly enhanced plant growth and physiological performance. Specifically, total dry weight (TDW), total chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, and the uptake of N, K, Fe, and Zn increased by 41%, 31%, 50%, 42%, 42.88%, 39%, 69.69%, and 69.81%, respectively. In addition, application of 5 μM GR24 increased phosphorus (P) uptake by 19.42% compared with the control. These findings suggest that an appropriate concentration of GR24 enhances phosphorus uptake, while its combined application with AMF further improves nutrient acquisition, physiological performance, and overall plant growth in wheat.
