A three-species synthetic community model whose rapid response to antagonism allows the study of higher-order dynamics and emergent properties in minutes.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 communities can be considered complex adaptive systems. Understanding how these systems arise from different components and how the dynamics of microbial interactions allow for species coexistence are fundamental questions in ecology. To address these questions, we built a three-species synthetic community, called BARS (Bacillota A + S + R). Each species in this community exhibits one of three ecological roles: Antagonistic, Sensitive, or Resistant, assigned in the context of a sediment community. We show that the BARS community reproduces features of complex communities and exhibits higher-order interaction (HOI) dynamics. In paired interactions, the majority of the S species (
