Refining the root-associated microbial consortia for enhanced biocontrol of the root-rot pathogen of corn.

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
Introduction: Microbial consortia play a crucial role in plant protection by suppressing soil-borne pathogens. A previously studied root-associated microbial consortium consisting of seven bacterial strains (C7) demonstrated biocontrol activity against seedling blight in corn caused by Methods: We used a plate-based method and plant assays to evaluate the biocontrol efficacy of S8, C7, and C8 against four major corn pathogens: Results: Plate assays revealed that S8 and the modified consortium C8 showed greater inhibition of Discussion: These results indicate that biocontrol efficacy is primarily driven by specific strain combinations rather than by the broader community. Our findings underscore the importance of refining microbial consortia to maximize synergistic interactions and minimize antagonism, advancing sustainable disease management in agriculture.
