Construction of Environmental Synthetic Microbial Consortia: Based on Engineering and Ecological Principles.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
In synthetic biology, engineering principles are applied to system design. The development of synthetic microbial consortia represents the intersection of synthetic biology and microbiology. Synthetic community systems are constructed by co-cultivating two or more microorganisms under certain environmental conditions, with broad applications in many fields including ecological restoration and ecological theory. Synthetic microbial consortia tend to have high biological processing efficiencies, because the division of labor reduces the metabolic burden of individual members. In this review, we focus on the environmental applications of synthetic microbial consortia. Although there are many strategies for the construction of synthetic microbial consortia, we mainly introduce the most widely used construction principles based on cross-feeding. Additionally, we propose methods for constructing synthetic microbial consortia based on traits and spatial structure from the perspective of ecology to provide a basis for future work.
