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
backgroundFaba bean is a valuable legume crop, known for its high nutritional value and nitrogen fixing ability. Rhizoctonia root rot of faba bean, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, severely affects the plant growth and yield. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and application of vitamin B3-treated Trichoderma harzianum HE24 on plant immune responses against Rhizoctonia root rot under greenhouse conditions.
resultsResults revealed that symbiosis with AMF and the application of vitamin B3-treated T. harzianum HE24 significantly upregulated the defense-related genes CHI II (50.2-fold), PAL1 (13.3-fold), and HQT (37.0-fold). Additionally, this combined treatment led to an increment in the enzymatic activity of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase recording 23.7 and 14.6-unit min−1g−1 fresh weight, respectivly. Furthermore, the phenolic content in faba bean plants was enhanced (1402.3 mg/g fresh weight) suggesting a strong activation of the plant’s biochemical defense mechanisms and metabolic activities. Rhizoctonia root rot severity in faba bean plants was reduced by 80.4% following this treatment. Moreover, the results demonstrated that AMF symbiosis notably improved plant growth, photosynthetic content, and yield, compared to the infected control, leading to enhanced overall plant performance and disease resistance.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the additive interaction between AMF and vitamin B3-treated T. harzianum HE24 provides an effective, eco-friendly alternative for managing root rot of faba bean.
