Synthetic microbial communities rescues strawberry from soil-borne disease by enhancing soil functional microbial abundance and multifunctionality.
Article in Journal of advanced research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionSynthetic microbial communities (SynCom) contribute to mitigating soil-borne crop diseases while enhancing both crop quality and yield. However, relatively little research has been done on the intricate regulatory mechanisms of SynCom on the suppression of soil-borne diseases.
objectivesWe aimed to elucidate the dynamic regulatory mechanisms and legacy effects of a SynCom on the composition of soil functional microorganisms, soil multifunctionality and crucial functions, and the suppression of soil-borne diseases.
methodsWe conducted an extensive series of experiments to assess the effect of a SynCom on the changes in the rhizosphere functional microorganisms and soil functions (e.g., multifunctionality, functionality of C, N, and P cycling) across six successive generations of strawberry in consecutive monoculture soils by employing amplicon metagenomics and transcriptome sequencing.
resultsOur results showed that the SynCom increased the aboveground fresh biomass of strawberry by 31-70.3% and the fruit biomass by 171.39-280.71%, and decreased the Fusarium oxysporum abundance by 17.91-49.51% compared to the consecutive monoculture. The SynCom significantly enhanced the soil C cycling and P cycling function, and soil multifunctionality (SMF). SynCom treatment significantly increased the Shannon diversity index and relative abundances of potentially beneficial bacteria and consumer protistan communities, while exerted a significant inhibitory effect on the Shannon diversity index and relative abundances of fungal pathogen. SEM result showed that SynCom significantly affected SMF by influencing soil nutrients, the abundance and diversity of functional microbial community. Our result also showed that the SynCom established the positive legacy effects on the abundance of rhizosphere soil beneficial bacteria, strawberry biomass and plant disease resistance-associated pathways (phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism pathway), and negative effect on the abundance of pathogenic F. oxysporum under the 7th generation of strawberry cropping.
conclusionCollectively, our study demonstrated the effectiveness of employing SynCom in mitigating soil-borne Fusarium oxysporum diseases by enhancing soil functional microbial abundance and soil multifunctionality.
