1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To predict the composition and function of ecological communities over time, it is essential to understand how in situ evolution alters priority effects between resident and invading species. Phyllosphere microbial communities are a useful model system to explore priority effects because the system is clearly spatially delineated and can be manipulated experimentally. We conducted an experimental evolution study with tomato plants and the early-colonizing bacterium species Pantoea dispersa, exploring priority effects when P. dispersa was introduced before, simultaneously with or after competitor species. P. dispersa rapidly evolved to invade a new niche within the plant tissue and altered its ecological interactions with other members of the plant microbiome and its effect on the host. Prevailing models have assumed that adaptation primarily improves the efficiency of resident species within their existing niches, yet in our study system, the resident species expanded its niche instead. This finding suggests potential limitations to the application of existing ecological theory to microbial communities.
