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

Host defenses can have broader ecological roles, but how they shape natural microbiome recruitment is poorly understood. Aliphatic glucosinolates (GLSs) are secondary defense metabolites in Brassicaceae plant leaves. Their genetically defined structure shapes interactions with pests in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, and here we find that it also shapes bacterial recruitment. In model genotype Col-0, GLSs (mostly 4-methylsulfinylbutyl-GLS) have no clear effect on natural leaf bacterial recruitment. In a genotype from a wild population, however, GLSs (mostly allyl-GLS) enrich specific taxa, mostly Comamonadaceae and Oxalobacteraceae. Consistently, Comamonadaceae are also enriched in wild A. thaliana, and Oxalobacteraceae are enriched from wild plants on allyl-GLS as carbon source, but not on 4-methylsulfinylbutyl-GLS. Recruitment differences between GLS structures most likely arise from bacterial myrosinase specificity. Community recruitment is then defined by metabolic cross-feeding among bacteria. The link of genetically defined metabolites to recruitment could lead to new strategies to shape plant microbiome balance.
