Interactions between Bacterial Inoculants and Native Soil Bacterial Community: the Case of Spore-forming Bacillus spp.
Article in FEMS microbiology ecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Microbial diversity can restrict the invasion and impact of alien microbes into soils via resource competition. However, this theory has not been tested on various microbial invaders with different ecological traits, particularly spore-forming bacteria. Here we investigated the survival capacity of two introduced spore-forming bacteria, Bacillus mycoides (BM) and B. pumillus (BP) and their impact on the soil microbiome niches with low and high diversity. We hypothesized that higher soil bacterial diversity would better restrict Bacillus survival via resource competition, and the invasion would alter the resident bacterial communities' niches only if inoculants do not escape competition with the soil community (e.g. through sporulation). Our findings showed that BP could not survive as viable propagules and transiently impacted the bacterial communities' niche structure. This may be linked to its poor resource usage and low growth rate. Having better resource use capacities, BM better survived in soil, though its survival was weakly related to the remaining resources left for them by the soil community. BM strongly affected the community niche structure, ultimately in less diverse communities. These findings show that the inverse diversity-invasibility relationship can be valid for some spore-forming bacteria, but only when they have sufficient resource use capacity.
