Narrow-spectrum resource-utilizing bacteria drive the stability of synthetic communities through enhancing metabolic interactions.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The importance of synthetic microbial communities in agriculture is increasingly recognized, yet methods for constructing targeted communities using existing microbial resources remain limited. Here, six plant-beneficial bacterial strains with distinct functions and rhizosphere resource utilization profiles are selected to construct stable, multifunctional communities for plant growth promotion. Metabolic modeling reveals that narrower resource utilization correlates with increased metabolic interaction potential and reduced metabolic resource overlap, contributing to greater community stability. Integrated analyses further consistently confirm the central roles of narrow-spectrum resource-utilizing strains, Cellulosimicrobium cellulans E and Pseudomonas stutzeri G, which form metabolic interaction networks via secretion of asparagine, vitamin B12, isoleucine, and their precursors or derivatives. Two synthetic communities, SynCom4 and SynCom5, have high stability in the tomato rhizosphere and increase plant dry weight by over 80%. Our study elucidates the relationship between resource utilization width and community stability, providing a rational strategy for designing stable, multifunctional microbial communities for specific habitats.
