The roles of dispersal limitation and pre-adaptation in shaping
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Endosymbiotic interactions have long played fundamental roles in shaping the evolution and diversification of eukaryotes. However, we still have a limited understanding of how ecological processes govern the distribution of endosymbionts that are still segregating in host populations. To contribute to this understanding, here, we use the interactions between IMPORTANCE: Endosymbiotic interactions are ubiquitous in complex eukaryotes, as organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts represent the remnants of what were once free-living prokaryotes. However, how ecological processes facilitate the transition from free-living to host-associated is less understood. Selection is the most commonly invoked process to explain this transition: symbionts that are better at infecting hosts and potentially confer some benefit rise in frequency because they are selected for (and otherwise selected against). However, this only describes one fundamental process that can shape the ecology of symbiotic interactions. Here, we present evidence that the importance of dispersal (and its limitations) likely exceeds that of selection in shaping the distribution and frequency of
