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 assembly mechanisms of soil microbiome during plant disease progression remain incomplete. This study linked potato common scab (PCS) severity to destabilized soil microbiome dynamics in potato geocausphere soil (GS) through integrated metagenomic analysis and culture-based experiments. Across four Shandong fields, PCS-infected GS exhibited an 11.66% reduction in bacterial α-diversity (Shannon index) and elevated stochastic community assembly. Bacterial community structure explained 39.28% (GS) and 15.96% (bulk soil) of PCS variance, outperforming pathogen abundance contributions (14.39% GS, 7.33% BS). Two microbial interaction patterns emerged in GS: 1) synchronized shifts between pathogens and beneficial taxa as PCS intensified; 2) stochastic assembly governing entire communities but deterministic processes dominating specialized subgroups. These results propose a microbial stability framework connecting soil microbiome structural rules to plant disease progression, emphasizing community-level dynamics over pathogen-centric explanations.
