Global citrus root microbiota unravels assembly cues and core members.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Citrus is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, and the root-associated microbiota can have a profound impact on tree health and growth. Methods: In a collaborative effort, the International Citrus Microbiome Consortium investigated the global citrus root microbiota with samples collected from nine citrus-producing countries across six continents. We analyzed 16S rDNA and ITS2 amplicon sequencing data to identify predominant prokaryotic and fungal taxa in citrus root samples. Comparative analyses were conducted between root-associated microbial communities and those from the corresponding rhizosphere and bulk soil samples. Additionally, genotype-based group-wise comparisons were performed to assess the impact of citrus genotype on root microbiota composition. Results: Ten predominant prokaryotic phyla, containing nine bacterial phyla including Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Bacteroidetes and one archaeal phylum (Thaumarchaeota), and multiple fungal phyla including Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were identified in the citrus root samples. Compared with the microbial communities from the corresponding rhizosphere and bulk soil samples from the same trees, the prokaryotic and fungal communities in the roots exhibited lower diversity and complexity but greater modularity compared to those in the rhizosphere. In total, 30 root-enriched and 150 root-depleted genera in bacterial community were identified, whereas 21 fungal genera were enriched, and 147 fungal genera were depleted in the root niche compared with the rhizosphere. The citrus genotype significantly affected the root prokaryotic and fungal communities. In addition, we have identified the core root prokaryotic genera comprising Conclusion: Overall, this study provides new insights into the assembly of microbial communities and identifies core members of citrus root microbiota across a wide geographic range. The findings offer valuable information for manipulating root microbiota to enhance plant growth and health.
