Synthetic bacterial community colonizes wheat roots grown in soil and mimics the assembly pattern of a field community in a cultivar dependent manner.
Article in ISME communications, 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
The root microbiome is important for plant development. The impact of the root microbiome is the result of multiple complex interactions among microorganisms, the plant and the environment. This complexity can be reduced by designing synthetic bacterial communities (SynComs) consisting of bacteria isolated from the roots, making it possible to study these interactions. However, the translational power from SynCom experiments to explain field observations is still very low, which demonstrates the need for development of SynComs that colonize plants comparable to what is observed in the field. Hence, we developed a SynCom consisting of 13 different strains from 13 genera with varying phenotypes originating from the roots of winter wheat (
