Bacillus species are core microbiota of resistant maize cultivars that induce host metabolic defense against corn stalk rot.
Article in Microbiome, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
backgroundMicrobes colonizing each compartment of terrestrial plants are indispensable for maintaining crop health. Although corn stalk rot (CSR) is a severe disease affecting maize (Zea mays) worldwide, the mechanisms underlying host-microbe interactions across vertical compartments in maize plants, which exhibit heterogeneous CSR-resistance, remain largely uncharacterized.
resultsHere, we investigated the microbial communities associated with CSR-resistant and CSR-susceptible maize cultivars using multi-omics analysis coupled with experimental verification. Maize cultivars resistant to CSR reshaped the microbiota and recruited Bacillus species with three phenotypes against Fusarium graminearum including niche pre-emption, potential secretion of antimicrobial compounds, and no inhibition to alleviate pathogen stress. By inducing the expression of Tyrosine decarboxylase 1 (TYDC1), encoding an enzyme that catalyzes the production of tyramine and dopamine, Bacillus isolates that do not directly suppress pathogen infection induced the synthesis of berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid that inhibits pathogen growth. These beneficial bacteria were recruited from the rhizosphere and transferred to the stems but not grains of the CSR-resistant plants.
conclusionsThe current study offers insight into how maize plants respond to and interact with their microbiome and lays the foundation for preventing and treating soil-borne pathogens. Video Abstract.
