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

Microbiomes feature recurrent compositional structures under given environmental conditions. However, these patterns may conceal diverse underlying population dynamics that require intrastrain resolution. Here we developed a genomic tagging system, termed wild-type isogenic standardized hybrid (WISH)-tags, that can be combined with quantitative polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing for microbial strain enumeration. We experimentally validated the performance of 62 tags and showed that they can be differentiated with high precision. WISH-tags were introduced into model and non-model bacterial members of the mouse and plant microbiota. Intrastrain priority effects were tested using one species of isogenic barcoded bacteria in the murine gut and the Arabidopsis phyllosphere, both with and without microbiota context. We observed colonization resistance against late-arriving strains of Salmonella Typhimurium in the mouse gut, whereas the phyllosphere accommodated Sphingomonas latecomers in a manner proportional to their presence at the late inoculation timepoint. This demonstrates that WISH-tags are a resource for deciphering population dynamics underlying microbiome assembly across biological systems.
