Second Genome: Rhizosphere Microbiome as a Key External Driver of Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Maize.
Review in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in maize is critical for reducing fertilizer inputs and mitigating environmental impacts. The rhizosphere microbiome-the plant's "second genome"-plays a key role in nitrogen acquisition, assimilation, and signaling. This review synthesizes recent advances from multi-omics studies, functional validation, and field experiments, highlighting how maize roots recruit and coordinate microbial taxa, including diazotrophs, nitrifiers, organic nitrogen mineralizers, and growth-promoting bacteria, to enhance NUE under variable nitrogen availability. We integrate mechanistic insights into transporter-mediated nitrogen uptake, microbial regulation of root development and exudation, and host genetic determinants, such as
