A strong priority effect in the assembly of a specialized insect-microbe symbiosis.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Specialized host-microbe symbioses are ecological communities, whose composition is shaped by various processes. Microbial community assembly in these symbioses is determined in part by interactions between taxa that colonize ecological niches available within habitat patches. The outcomes of these interactions, and by extension the trajectory of community assembly, can display priority effects-dependency on the order in which taxa first occupy these niches. The underlying mechanisms of these phenomena vary from system to system and are often not well resolved. Here, we characterize priority effects in colonization of the squash bug ( IMPORTANCE: Host-associated microbial communities underpin critical ecosystem processes and human health, and their ability to do so is determined in turn by the various processes that shape their composition. While selection deterministically acts on competing genotypes and species during community assembly, the manner by which selection determines the trajectory of community assembly can differ depending on the sequence by which taxa are established within that community. We document this phenomenon, known as a priority effect, during experimental colonization of a North American insect pest, the squash bug
