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
The seed is a habitat with limited resources and space. Although it is widely accepted that microbial competition is a key driver of the assembly of seed-associated microbial communities, the underlying mechanisms of this competition are not well understood. The initial objective of this work was to assess the importance of contact-independent microbial competition between the phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 (Xcc8004) and 30 strains representative of the bacterial populations most commonly associated with radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds. We identified Pseudomonas lactucae CFBP 13502 as a potent inhibitor of Xcc8004, mediated by exometabolites, specifically induced by certain seed-borne strains. Transcriptomic analysis linked this inducible activity to the upregulation of a gene cluster encoding a lipopeptide siderophore. Targeted gene deletion in P. lactucae CFBP 13502 confirmed that this cluster is essential for antagonism against Xcc8004. Furthermore, iron supplementation abolished this inhibitory effect, strongly supporting iron chelation as the underlying mechanism. Through comparative metabolomics, we elucidated the structure of a family of lipopeptide siderophores, produced by P. lactucae CFBP 13502, which we named lactuchelins. Our findings provide molecular evidence of competitive exclusion mechanisms at the seed microbiome interface, highlighting lactuchelins as a promising avenue for the development of seed-based biocontrol strategies against seed-borne phytopathogens.
