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

Mycorrhizal associations are plant-fungal mutualisms that are fairly ubiquitous and likely evolved multiple times in phylogenic history; however, some plant families have consistently been identified as non-mycorrhizal, including the Brassicaceae. In this paper, we reviewed the literature and DNA databases for potential mechanisms that preclude mycorrhizal symbioses in the Brassicaceae and for exceptions to the general observation of non-mycorrhizal status within this plant family. In instances of association between members of the Brassicaceae and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi we posed hypotheses for why these interactions occur in the species and sites observed. Instances of inconsistent association with mycorrhizal fungi were attributed to inter- and intraspecific variations in plant biology, disagreements in vernacular, methodology contradicting historical mycorrhizal surveys, and association being a facultative, variable trait that is determined by species-site interactions. We propose further research on a) the extent of mycorrhizal association in the Brassicaceae, b) the molecular mechanisms dictating association, and c) whether Brassicaceae-mycorrhizal fungal interactions result in nutrient transfer, and their particular roles in the family's distribution across heterogeneous and harsh environments.
