Unveiling the hidden allies of industrial chicory-a metagenomic exploration of rhizosphere microbiota and their impact on productivity and plant health.

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
Background: As industrial chicory is significant for food, fodder, and medicinal purposes, its cultivation is increasingly crucial for producers. To enhance productivity, resistance, and the nutritional and functional values of this plant, we aimed to investigate its interactions with the microbial environment. We performed the first comprehensive taxonomic and functional characterization of the rhizosphere microbiota associated with industrial chicory, investigating how environmental factors influence its composition. Methods: Six different land plots were simultaneously cultivated with the same chicory genotype in northern France. Using soil analyses and metagenomic approaches, we characterized the diversity of bacterial and fungal communities in the soil microbiome associated with chicory plants and discussed their functional traits. Results: We observed significant taxonomic variability, influenced by soil composition and cultivation history across each plot. The presence of chicory plants distinctly shaped the microbial community. Specifically, chicory was found to recruit Discussion: Our study represents a comprehensive taxonomic and functional analysis of the
