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

Microbial consortia show promise for sustainable agriculture, yet their field performance often remains inconsistent due to ecological imbalance and instability in complex soil environments. The Yogic Microbiome (YoMiCom) framework addresses this challenge by presenting a systems-based approach to microbial consortium design, where plant-beneficial functions are organized into coordinated functional guilds that support ecological balance, compatibility, and resilience. By combining guild-based assembly with quantitative design metrics, such as the Functional Guild Index for strain prioritization and the Guild Balance Coefficient for functional distribution, within an iterative Design-Build-Test-Learn framework, YoMiCom shifts the focus from empirical assembly to structured, context-driven design. This framework is presented as a testable conceptual design approach that can be evaluated and refined across diverse agroecological contexts, thereby supporting the development of ecologically compatible and functionally balanced solutions for sustainable agriculture.
