Microbiome and metabolomics analysis of different bryophytes under cadmium stress.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
Understanding the differences in physiological responses of various bryophytes to cadmium (Cd) stress can assist in the monitoring and remediation of heavy metal pollution. In this study, we investigated Cd concentration, physiological indicators, microbiome, and metabolites in the bryophytes Mnium laevinerve, Timmia bavarica, and Brachythecium salebrosum under simulated Cd stresses (0 (CK), 1 (T1), 10 (T2), and 100 (T3) mg·L− 1). Cadmium accumulation and physiological responses were dose-dependent and species-specific, with M. laevinerve exhibiting the highest accumulation and most significant physiological alterations. Furthermore, antioxidant enzyme activities and osmolyte levels generally increased and then decreased with rising Cd concentration, while photosynthetic pigments declined progressively. Moreover, metabolomic and microbiome analyses revealed species-specific shifts: differential metabolites (i.e., L-Asparagine, Stachyose, and Traumatic acid) and phyllosphere bacterial communities (notably Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, and Actinobacteriota) showed significant alterations under Cd stress. The physiological, metabolomic, and microbiome integrated analysis highlighted that Cd resistance in M. laevinerve and T. bavarica was highly correlated with changes in specific phyllosphere bacterial phyla (Acidobacteriota and Actinobacteriota) and the metabolite L-Asparagine, suggesting a potential coordinated response. These findings provide a foundation for future research into biomonitoring and bioremediation of heavy metal pollution.
