Guided by Microbes: Applying Community Coalescence Principles for Predictive Microbiome Engineering.
Article in mSystems, 2021. 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
Every seed germinating in soils, wastewater treatment, and stream confluence exemplify microbial community coalescence-the blending of previously isolated communities. Here, we present theoretical and experimental knowledge on how separated microbial communities mix, with particular focus on managed ecosystems. We adopt the community coalescence framework, which integrates metacommunity theory and meta-ecosystem dynamics, and highlight the prevalence of these coalescence events within microbial systems. Specifically, we (i) describe fundamental types of community coalescences using naturally occurring and managed examples, (ii) offer ways forward to leverage community coalescence in managed systems, and (iii) emphasize the importance of microbial ecological theory to achieving desired coalescence outcomes. Further, considering the massive dispersal events of microbiomes and their coalescences is pivotal to better predict microbial community dynamics and responses to disturbances. We conclude our piece by highlighting some challenges and unanswered question yet to be tackled.
