When neighbors control metabolite fate: consequences for plant pathogen virulence and biocontrol outcomes.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 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
Microbial interactions can profoundly influence the activity of bioactive metabolites in plant-associated communities. De Rop et al. show that community members enzymatically degrade cyclic lipopeptides (CLiPs), metabolites that act both as virulence factors in plant pathogens and antimicrobial agents in biological control (J. De Rop, D. Prasad, N. Geudens, L. Zhou, et al., Appl Environ Microbiol 92:e01524-25, 2026, https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.01524-25). By neutralizing these molecules, microbes determine whether CLiP-mediated activities persist or collapse, revealing that metabolite function depends on community-mediated turnover and highlighting an underappreciated ecological layer that shapes plant disease and biocontrol outcomes.
