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

Primary production needs to transition towards more sustainable systems that reduce environmental impact, mitigate climate change, and ensure healthy food production with limited use of chemical plant protection products, fertilizers, or antibiotics. Rationally designed microbial communities, or engineered microbial consortia, involve the intentional assembly of microorganisms that can underpin more sustainable primary production systems. Rationally designed microbial communities can for example, (i) enhance ecosystem resilience, (ii) improve bioremediation, (iii) enhance industrial processes, or (iv) prevent diseases. In the perspective, we discuss the route towards market applications with a focus on the methodology needed to rationally design microbial communities for applications in the agri-food production systems.
