Fungal Endophyte-Mediated Antibiotic and Antixenotic Plant Resistance to Herbivorous Insects.
Review in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Endophytic fungi reside within both above- and below-ground plant tissues and play pivotal roles in modulating plant fitness and immunity, particularly in the context of plant-insect interactions. They mediate plant defences through the production of bioactive compounds and the alteration of plant physiology, leading to antibiotic (affecting herbivore growth and survival) and antixenotic (deterring herbivore settlement) effects. This review synthesises current evidence on the mechanisms underlying these endophyte-mediated effects, highlighting how these interactions shape herbivore behaviour and performance. Antibiotic effects emerge through the production of secondary metabolites that disrupt herbivore digestion, development and reproduction. Simultaneously, antixenotic responses are driven by multiple mechanisms, including the synthesis of secondary metabolites, changes in plant surface chemistry and volatile emissions that reduce herbivore preference. In addition to their direct impact on herbivores, endophyte-mediated responses can influence higher trophic levels by enhancing plant attractiveness to natural enemies of herbivores, such as parasitoids and predators. These multifaceted defence strategies not only reduce herbivore damage but also contribute to broader ecological dynamics by mediating communication between above- and below-ground plant compartments. Understanding these effects is critical for advancing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, as endophytes offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
