Rhizospheric Fungal Communities and Their Role in Biocontrol of Fusarium in Robusta Coffee (Coffea canephora) in Vietnam.
Article in The plant pathology journal, 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
Rhizospheric microbial communities are critical to the health and productivity of coffee plantations. This study investigated the microbiome of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) across three major cultivation areas in Vietnam (Dak-Nong, Dak-Lak, and Gia-Lai) to assess its role in Fusarium suppression. Using ITS ampliconbased metagenomics and culture-dependent approaches, we analyzed fungal community structure in relation to location, plant age, and health status. Metagenomic analysis revealed no significant differences in bacterial communities between healthy and diseased rhizospheres, whereas fungal communities showed clear distinctions, particularly in young plants (<2 years). These differences diminished in mature plants (≥2 years) but continued to vary with age (2-10 years). Healthy rhizospheres were enriched with beneficial fungi, while diseased soils contained more phytopathogenic genera. Fusarium was prevalent in all regions, with higher abundance in diseased soils, whereas Trichoderma, a known biocontrol agent, was more abundant in healthy soils but declined with plant age. Of 343 fungal isolates, 46 strains exhibited strong antagonistic activity against Fusarium, representing 10 genera, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Gongronella, and Talaromyces. Although Trichoderma isolates were less frequent, they showed promising biocontrol potential. These findings underscore the role of rhizospheric fungi in managing Fusarium wilt and identify candidate biocontrol agents for sustainable robusta coffee cultivation.
