Role of horizontal gene transfer and cooperation in rhizosphere microbiome assembly.
Review in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Microbes employ a variety of mechanisms, encompassing chemical signaling (e.g., quorum-sensing molecules) and genetic processes like horizontal gene transfer (HGT), to engage in interactions. HGT, in particular, holds a pivotal role as it facilitates the generation of metabolic diversity, thus directly or indirectly influencing microorganisms' interactions and functioning within their habitat. In this study, we investigate the correlations between enhanced metabolic diversity through HGT and cooperative behavior in the rhizosphere. Despite the potential drawbacks of cooperative behavior, which renders it susceptible to exploitation by cheaters based on evolutionary theory, HGT emerges as a mitigating factor. It serves as a valuable and adaptive tool for survival in competitive environments, notably the rhizosphere. By initiating a comprehensive discussion on these processes combined, we anticipate achieving a profound understanding of the rhizosphere microbiome, ultimately enhancing soil microbiology management and the exploitation of this ecological niche.
