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

Quorum sensing (QS) is a critical microbial communication mechanism. This study specifically investigates how brown-rot fungi (BRF), cellulolytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria (CNFB), and their composite microbial inoculants (CMI) regulate QS processes and carbohydrate metabolism through different QS signaling pathways. The results indicated that cellulolytic microorganisms accelerated lignocellulose degradation, enhanced lignocellulose-degrading enzyme activities, and increased both the abundance of signaling molecules and QS-related genes. Specifically, BRF primarily regulated QS via AHLs, whereas CNFB relied on AI-2. The CMI synergistically enhanced the production of both AHLs and AI-2, further promoting QS. Molecular reaction network analysis revealed that all three inoculants stimulated amide and Maillard reactions, generating key precursors for humification. Additionally, cellulolytic microorganisms increased the abundance of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), including CBMs and GTs, thereby accelerating carbohydrate degradation during composting. Overall, BRF had a stronger impact on carbohydrate metabolism and QS regulation than CNFB, while CMI further reinforced these processes through synergistic interactions. This study provides new insights into the regulatory effects of cellulolytic microorganisms on QS and carbohydrate metabolism, and present new strategies for optimizing the resource utilization of organic solid waste.
