Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate-smart biofertilizers.
Article in iMeta, 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
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change-driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome underexplored. Here, we examine the agricultural use of synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) through the "crop holobiont" concept, in which plants and their associated microbiota function as an integrated, responsive system rather than through plant genomes alone. Pioneer plants in extreme environments may serve as reservoirs of stress-adapted microbes and provide a strategic toolkit for advancing CSA. SynComs assembled from these microbes can act not only as nutrient suppliers but also as dynamic physiological modulators that enhance crop phenotypic plasticity under climatic stress. We propose a roadmap for crop microbiology that integrates synthetic ecological engineering, with broad implications for CSA.
