Endophytic bacterial communities in peels and pulp of five root vegetables.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Plants contain endophytic bacteria, whose communities both influence plant growth and can be an important source of probiotics. Here we used deep sequencing of a 16S rRNA gene fragment and bacterial cultivation to independently characterize the microbiomes of five plant species from divergent taxonomic orders-potato (Solanum tuberosum), carrot (Daucus sativus), beet (Beta vulgaris), neep (Brassica napus spp. napobrassica), and topinambur (Helianthus tuberosus). We found that both species richness and diversity tend to be higher in the peel, where Alphaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria dominate, while Gammaproteobacteria and Firmicutes dominate in the pulp. A statistical analysis revealed that the main characteristic features of the microbiomes of plant species originate from the peel microbiomes. Topinambur pulp displayed an interesting characteristic feature: it contained up to 108 CFUs of lactic acid bacteria, suggesting its use as a source of probiotic bacteria. We also detected Listeria sp., in topinambur pulps, however, the 16S rRNA gene fragment is unable to distinguish between pathogenic versus non-pathogenic species, so the evaluation of this potential health risk is left to a future study.
