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

Fungi are known to be frequently infected by mycoviruses, which could play an important yet underexplored role in the fungal holobiont. Mycoviruses can enhance fungal traits, such as salinity tolerance and resistance to fungicides, and may also benefit plant hosts in tripartite interactions. While research on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has focused on their ecological and agricultural value, few studies have explored their virome, possibly due to the difficulty of culturing AMF in the lab. This study presents an updated bioinformatic approach for virome characterization, emphasizing RNA viral ORFans and providing protocols for high-quality RNA extraction from AMF.
