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

Plants communicate with their environment through the production of root exudates. These contain a variety of secondary metabolites that mediate plant interactions in the rhizosphere. Collecting these exudates without altering root structure, the metabolites, and the environmental conditions is crucial to understanding real processes occurring in our studies, enabling time-course experiments and separate analysis of roots and exudates. The present chapter shows an easy and non-destructive method to collect root exudates from intact plants, as well as their purification and concentration using C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns for subsequent liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses. Interestingly, this methodology allows for repeated exudate collection over time from the same plant to efficiently recover charged metabolites, including rhizosphere signaling molecules such as strigolactones and flavonoids. We show an easy, viable, and non-destructive method for quantifying low-abundance root exudate metabolites from intact plants.
