Protective role of native root-associated bacterial consortium against root-knot nematode infection in susceptible plants.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are a global menace to agricultural crop production. The role of root-associated microbes (RAMs) in plant protection against RKN infection remains unclear. Here we observe that cucumber (highly susceptible to Meloidogyne incognita) exhibits a consistently lower susceptibility to M. incognita in the presence of native RAMs in three distinct soils. Nematode infection alters the assembly of bacterial RAMs along the life cycle of M. incognita. Particularly, the loss of bacterial diversity of RAMs exacerbates plant susceptibility to M. incognita. A diverse range of native bacterial strains isolated from M. incognita-infected roots has nematode-antagonistic activity. Increasing the number of native bacterial strains causes decreasing nematode infection, which is lowest when six or more bacterial strains are present. Multiple simplified synthetic communities consisting of six bacterial strains show pronounced inhibitory effects on M. incognita infection in plants. These inhibitory effects are underpinned via multiple mechanisms including direct inhibition of infection, secretion of anti-nematode substances, and regulation of plant defense responses. This study highlights the role of native bacterial RAMs in plant resistance against RKNs and provides a useful insight into the development of a sustainable way to protect susceptible plants.
