Bacteria-phage (co)evolution is constrained in a synthetic community across multiple bacteria-phage pairs.
Article in Microbiology (Reading, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Bacteriophages can be important drivers of bacterial densities and, therefore, microbial community composition and function. These ecological interactions are likely to be greatly affected by evolutionary dynamics because bacteria can rapidly evolve resistance to phage, while phage can reciprocally evolve to increase infectivity. Most studies to date have explored eco-evolutionary dynamics using isolated pairs of bacteria-phage, but in nature, multiple bacteria and phages coexist and (co)evolve simultaneously. How coevolution plays out in this context is poorly understood. Here, we examine how three coexisting soil bacteria (
