Branched-chain amino acid metabolism supports Roseobacteraceae positive interactions in marine biofilms.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Interspecies interactions are key factors affecting the stability of microbial communities. However, microbial interactions in marine biofilms, which constitute up to 80% of the microbial biomass in certain marine environments, are not well understood. We addressed this knowledge gap by coculturing four marine biofilm-derived Roseobacteraceae strains ( IMPORTANCE: Interspecies interactions are crucial for microbial community structure and function. Despite well-studied social behaviors in model microorganisms, species interactions in natural marine biofilms especially Roseobacteraceae with complex metabolic pathways are not well understood. Our findings suggest that positive microbial interactions, which can be mediated by branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis, are common among marine-biofilm Roseobacteraceae. This study provides new insights into microbial interactions and the ecology of marine biofilms.
