Metabolite interactions mediate beneficial alliances between Bacillus and Trichoderma for effective Fusarium wilt control.
Article in The ISME journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bacteria-Fungi Interactions play a crucial role in soil nutrient cycling and plant disease suppression. Bacillus and Trichoderma exhibit antagonism when inoculated on laboratory media, global soil sample analysis reveals a positive correlation between these two genera in addition to enhanced plant-pathogen Fusarium oxysporum suppression and plant growth promotion. Here, we assess cross-kingdom interactions within artificial model communities of Bacillus velezensis and Trichoderma guizhouense. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that in the presence of fungi, the key stress sigma factor of B. velezensis activates expression of biosynthetic genes for antimicrobial secondary metabolite production. Among these, surfactin induces T22azaphilone production in T. guizhouense that hinders oxidative stress. Both surfactin and T22azaphilone contribute to Bacillus and Trichoderma maintenance in soil in the presence of F. oxysporum. Finally, F. oxysporum-secreted fusaric acid temporarily inhibits B. velezensis growth whereas it is efficiently degraded by T. guizhouense. These metabolite-mediated interactions reveal how competing soil microorganisms could form effective alliances that ultimately enhance plant protection against soil-borne pathogens.
