Extended Plant Metarhizobiome: Understanding Volatile Organic Compound Signaling in Plant-Microbe Metapopulation Networks.
Article in mSystems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Plant rhizobiomes consist of microbes that are influenced by the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the plant root system. While plant-microbe interactions are generally thought to be local, accumulating evidence suggests that topologically disconnected bulk soil microbiomes could be linked with plants and their associated rhizospheric microbes through volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While several studies have focused on the effect of soil physicochemical properties for VOC movement, it is less clear how VOC signaling is affected by microbial communities themselves when VOCs travel across soils. To gain a better understanding of this, we propose that soil microbe-plant communities could be viewed as "metarhizobiomes," where VOC-mediated interactions extend the plant rhizobiome further out through interconnected microbial metapopulation networks. In this minireview, we mainly focus on soil microbial communities and first discuss how microbial interactions within a local population affect VOC signaling, leading to changes in the amount, type, and ecological roles of produced VOCs. We then consider how VOCs could connect spatially separated microbial populations into a larger metapopulation network and synthesize how (i) VOC effects cascade in soil matrix when moving away from the source of origin and (ii) how microbial metapopulation composition and diversity shape VOC-signaling between plants and microbes at the landscape level. Finally, we propose new avenues for experimentally testing VOC movement in plant-microbe metapopulation networks and suggest how VOCs could potentially be used for managing plant health in natural and agricultural soils.
