Legume-grass mixtures with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve plant physiology, optimizing carbon and nitrogen dynamics and forage quality in perennial living mulches.

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
Introduction: Perennial cover crops (also referred to as living mulches) represent an innovative management strategy that provides continuous soil cover throughout the year and supports organic production systems, agroforestry practices, and the adoption of sustainable agricultural systems. Although the benefits of annual cover crops are well documented, the potential benefit of perennial cover crops to enhance ecosystem services, including the potential for providing high-quality forage, remains underexplored. Methods: To better understand the potential benefits of perennial cover crop mixtures, we quantified changes in plant physiology, biomass, and measures of forage quality across single- and mixed-species of clover ( Results: Clover dominant mixtures, particularly C Discussion: Overall, our results demonstrate that mixed legume-grass systems, particularly when combined with AMF, optimized biomass production, C and N concentration, and forage quality.
