Synthetic Bacterial Community of Duckweed: A Simple and Stable System to Study Plant-microbe Interactions.
Article in Microbes and environments, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A complete understanding of the plant microbiome has not yet been achieved due to its complexity and temporal shifts in the community structure. To overcome these issues, we created a synthetic bacterial community of the aquatic plant, duckweed. The synthetic community established with six bacterial strains showed a stable composition for 50 days, which may have been because duckweed maintains a similar physiological status through its clonal reproduction. Additionally, the synthetic community reflected the taxonomic structure of the natural duckweed microbiome at the family level. These results suggest the potential of a duckweed-based synthetic community as a useful model system for examining the community assembly mechanisms of the plant microbiome.
