Effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi on the physiological and ecological characteristics of Larix gmelinii under salt stress.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2026. 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
Soil salinization has become a major constraint on afforestation and forest regeneration in Northeast China, limiting the growth and development of Larix gmelinii. Enhancing the salt tolerance of L. gmelinii is therefore of considerable importance, and ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) inoculation has been shown to improve plant stress resistance. However, the mechanisms by which ECMF enhance salt tolerance in L. gmelinii remain poorly understood. In this study, L. gmelinii seedlings inoculated with an ECMF consortium consisting of Boletus edulis and Chroogomphus rutilus were subjected to 120 mM NaCl stress. Photosynthetic characteristics, antioxidant enzyme activities, osmotic adjustment substances, ion contents, and metabolite profiles were analyzed to elucidate the physiological mechanisms underlying ECMF-mediated salt tolerance. The results showed that ECMF inoculation promoted the growth of L. gmelinii under salt stress. ECMF alleviated the decline in net photosynthetic rate caused by stomatal limitation and maintained photosynthetic performance. Under salt stress, L. gmelinii primarily scavenged reactive oxygen species through increased peroxidase activity, activation of ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, and enhanced flavonoid biosynthesis. Furthermore, ECMF inoculation enhanced galactose metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis, resulting in increased soluble sugar and soluble protein contents and improved osmotic adjustment capacity. In addition, ECMF improved ion homeostasis by promoting K⁺ translocation to shoots while restricting Na⁺ transport and enhancing Na⁺ retention in roots. These findings demonstrate that ECMF enhance salt tolerance in L. gmelinii through coordinated regulation of photosynthesis, antioxidant defense, osmotic adjustment, and ion homeostasis, providing a theoretical basis for the application of ECMF in saline-alkali land afforestation.
