Beyond detection: unveiling microbial dynamics in oak seedlings using fungal isolation and amplicon sequencing.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundForest nurseries are critical for producing resilient nursery stock for reforestation and planting of ornamental trees, yet the microbial communities associated with nursery grown plants remain poorly characterized. Quercus robur L. seedlings from seven Czech forest nurseries were analyzed to assess microbial diversity, co-occurrence patterns, and environmental drivers.
resultsMicrobial communities were characterized using fungal ITS2 and bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, fungal isolation, and comprehensive soil chemistry. HTAS revealed broader taxonomic and functional profiles compared to isolation, which selectively enriched for fast growing pathogens. Both methods were found to be complementary, emphasizing the value of methodological integration. Fungal communities exhibited pronounced site specific beta diversity and responded to inorganic soil parameters, particularly calcium, phosphorus, and pH/CaCl
conclusionsMineral soil properties were associated with microbial community structure and fungal trophic composition. Despite standardized nursery conditions, edaphic variability exerted strong filtering effects on fungal and bacterial communities. These findings provide ecological insight into seedling microbe interactions and offer a basis for microbiome informed nursery management strategies.
