Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides. Efficient biological alternatives are needed but it is essential to determine whether a biocontrol agent persists in soil and affects non-target microbiota. Here, we assessed the environmental fate and the impact of a novel Bacillus sp. strain (SCL1) on soil microbial communities from three contrasted agricultural soils. The fate and effects of SCL1 applied at an agronomical (LD) or elevated (HD) dose were compared with a commercial biocontrol product, tebuconazole, and an untreated control.
resultsSCL1 persistence was monitored by selective plate counts and strain-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis. After inoculation, SCL1 declined rapidly but remained detectable up to day 168; at late time points the SCL1 population stabilized at low levels [~10
conclusionSCL1 persisted for at least 6 months in soil microcosms and induced small shifts in bacterial and fungal communities, comparable with reference products. These findings support further field studies to evaluate the efficacy of SCL1 against S. sclerotiorum in rapeseed crops, as well as its persistence and potential non-target effects on soil microbiota. © 2026 The Author(s).
