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

Plant-plant interactions shape arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities in rhizosphere soil, with tomato/potato-onion intercropping emerging as a promising agro-ecological strategy to optimize resource utilization. However, the role of root separation methods in modulating AMF diversity within intercropping systems remains unclear. Specifically, whether the AMF community in the rhizosphere of tomato and potato-onion intercropping differs from monoculture and how root separation methods modulate these effects. This study evaluates the effects of various root separation methods (no separation, 0.45 μm nylon membrane, 38 μm nylon membrane, and solid separation) on AMF diversity and composition in tomato/potato-onion intercropping and monoculture systems. High-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing was used to assess AMF diversity indices (Ace, Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson), and Principal Coordinate Analysis evaluated community structure. Results showed that the non-separation mode achieved the highest Ace and Chao1 indices, indicating greater richness, while intercropping lowered Shannon and Simpson indices. Intercropping significantly reduced
