Divergent assembly processes? A comparison of the plant and soil microbiome with plant communities in a glacier forefield.
Article in FEMS microbiology ecology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Community assembly is a result of dispersal, abiotic and biotic characteristics of the habitat as well as stochasticity. A direct comparison between the assembly of microbial and 'macrobial' organisms is hampered by the sampling of these communities in different studies, at different sites or on different scales. In a glacier forefield in the Austrian Alps, we recorded the soil and plant microbiome (bacteria and fungi) and plants that occurred in the same landscape and in close proximity in the same plots. We tested five predictions deduced from assembly processes and revealed deviating patterns of assembly in these community types. In short, microbes appeared to be less dispersal limited than plants and soil microbes, and plants strongly responded to abiotic factors whereas the leaf microbiome was plant species specific and well buffered from environmental conditions. The observed differences in community assembly processes may be attributed to the organisms' dispersal abilities, the exposure of the habitats to airborne propagules and habitat characteristics. The finding that assembly is conditional to the characteristics of the organisms, the habitat and the spatial scale under consideration is thus central for our understanding about the establishment and the maintenance of biodiversity.
