1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Soil-borne diseases pose a severe threat to global agricultural production and food security. Traditional chemical control methods face significant challenges, including environmental pressure, pathogen resistance, and food safety concerns. The rhizosphere microbial community, often termed the plant's 'second genome', plays a pivotal role in maintaining plant health and defending against pathogen invasion. Recent advances in multi-omics technologies, synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) construction, and rhizosphere metabolomics have significantly advanced our understanding of the mechanisms by which rhizosphere microbiomes suppress soil-borne diseases. This review systematically summarizes the following: 1. key drivers of rhizosphere microbial community assembly, particularly plant "cry for help" signaling; 2. core beneficial microbial taxa and their disease-suppressive mechanisms; 3. the critical role of microbial interaction networks; 4. microbiome-based management strategies and their application progress; and 5. current challenges and future research directions. Compared with previous reviews that separately discussed rhizosphere microbiota, disease-suppressive soils, synthetic microbial communities (SynComs), or prebiotics, this review uniquely integrates multiple levels of regulation, from plant genetic determinants ('
