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

The understanding of selective forces driving the compartmentalization of microbiota in plants remains limited. In this study, we performed a phenotypic characterization of bacterial endophytes isolated from the medicinal plant Origanum heracleoticum, together with the determination of the antibiotic resistance profiles and the antagonistic interactions of communities within and across different plant organs. Results revealed organ-related differences in the metabolic capabilities of bacteria, with those associated with stems displaying the highest metabolic activity for carbon sources. Contrarily, the patterns of antibiotic resistance appeared closely aligned with the taxonomical classification of the endophytes. The presence of antagonistic interactions, likely spurred by resource limitations, favor bacteria exhibiting greater metabolic plasticity. In conclusion, this research advances our comprehension of the intricate dynamics between plants and their associated microbiota, indicating that its composition is mainly influenced by forces contributing to the selection of distinct functions and phenotypic traits.
