Mechanistic Insights for Microbiome Application in Plant Disease Resistance.
Review in Molecular plant pathology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Plant diseases caused by biotic and abiotic stresses pose a great threat to both plant health and yield. Plant microbiomes play a crucial role in improving disease resistance, representing a sustainable approach to enhance crop performance. Plant host factors, including genetic variation, metabolites and microRNA, shape the assembly and function of the plant microbiome, thereby augmenting disease resistance. This interplay presents opportunities for plant-mediated manipulation of microbiome to promote plant health. Multiple mechanisms are involved in the microbiome-mediated plant disease resistance, such as direct and indirect pathogen antagonism, niche pre-emption, alteration of microbiota and activation of plant defences. Nevertheless, the application of plant microbiome in the field remains limited due to the intrinsic complexity of plant-microbiome and environment-microbiome interactions. This review synthesises current knowledge on the roles of plant microbiomes in plant disease resistance. I further summarise the mechanisms underlying plant-guided microbiome modulation and probiotic-mediated disease suppression. I also raise work and challenges that should be addressed, with the ultimate goal of informing more efficient microbiome application in sustainable agriculture.
