Bacterial Communities as Modulators of Innate Immune Signalling: An In Vitro Perspective on Toll-Like Receptor Activation.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Investigating the work-environmental microbiome is critical for assessing occupational risk associated with exposure to microorganisms. The present study examined the bacterial composition of inhalable dust from waste sorting plants and explored their potential to induce Toll-like receptors (TLR) in vitro, thereby providing insights into the immunomodulatory potential of complex microbial communities from occupational settings. These findings highlight how few dominant bacterial species shape the immune activation properties of the overall bacterial community, where less abundant taxa play a crucial role in immune modulation through TLR activation. The strong association between TLR activation and rare yet highly inductive bacterial taxa demonstrates their potential immunological significance, suggesting that even low-abundant microbes may have a disproportionate impact on immune responses and occupational health outcomes.
