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

Sugarcane is a major sugar crop with substantial economic importance worldwide. Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM), which are capable of forming symbioses with the majority of terrestrial plants, play a pivotal role in plant productivity and soil nutrient cycling. The present study employed pot experiments using a randomized block design. Two treatments were applied: inoculation with AM fungi (A20) and non-inoculation (CK), each with nine replicates within each block. A comparative analysis was conducted on the phenotypic traits, rhizosphere soil nutrient contents, and transcriptomics of sugarcane during the elongation stage. The results demonstrated that AM fungal inoculation not only facilitated the accumulation of above- and belowground biomass in sugarcane but also significantly influenced the contents of soil organic matter, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and total phosphorus in the rhizosphere. The utilization of RNA-seq and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) enabled the identification of genes and modules associated with sugarcane growth and nutrient absorption during the elongation stage following AM fungal inoculation. In particular, the MEmoccasin and MElightpink3 modules were identified as being highly specific to nutrient phenotypes, including nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as belowground growth. In contrast, the MEhoneydew1 module was found to be specifically associated with aboveground phenotypic traits, such as plant height and stem diameter. It is noteworthy that CESA9, ANR, CYCP4, LHA1, SUS4, RPS15AE, and CNGC2 were identified as potential hub genes, exerting crucial regulatory functions in soil carbon cycling, nitrogen and phosphorus content, and sugarcane growth. This study provides insights into the effects of AM fungi on sugarcane growth and nutrient absorption, establishing a theoretical foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying AM fungal influence on these processes in sugarcane.
