Metabolic remodeling of microorganisms by mobile genetic elements alters mutualistic community composition.
Article in mSystems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are ubiquitous in prokaryotes and exert significant influence on microbial communities, in part through their effects on host metabolism. While some MGEs directly alter host metabolism by introducing novel enzymes, all MGEs can indirectly change bacterial metabolism by redirecting intracellular host resources away from native bacterial processes toward MGE production. As a result, even when MGEs do not provide new metabolic functions, their carriage can influence host traits such as growth rate, nutrient uptake, and waste excretion, with consequences for how bacteria contribute to community and ecosystem functions. However, there are few empirical tests of how the indirect metabolic consequences of MGE carriage shape interactions between host and non-host bacterial species. We integrated genome-scale metabolic modeling with an
