Taxonomic and functional shifts in the beech rhizosphere microbiome across a natural soil toposequence.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
It has been rarely questioned as to whether the enrichment of specific bacterial taxa found in the rhizosphere of a given plant species changes with different soil types under field conditions and under similar climatic conditions. Understanding tree microbiome interactions is essential because, in contrast to annual plants, tree species require decades to grow and strongly depend on the nutritive resources of the soil. In this context, we tested using a natural toposequence the hypothesis that beech trees select specific taxa and functions in their rhizosphere based on the soil conditions and their nutritive requirements. Our 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing analyses revealed that the soil type determines the taxa colonizing the beech rhizosphere. A rhizosphere effect was observed in each soil type, but a stronger effect was observed in the nutrient-poor soils. Although the communities varied significantly across the toposequence, we identified a core beech rhizosphere microbiome. Functionally, GeoChip analyses showed a functional redundancy across the toposequence, with genes related to nutrient cycling and to the bacterial immune system being significantly enriched in the rhizosphere. Altogether, the data suggest that, regardless of the soil conditions, trees enrich variable bacterial communities to maintain the functions necessary for their nutrition.
