The Potential Role of Quorum Sensing in Rumen Microbial Adaptation to Environmental and Nutritional Stress: A Review.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Stress-induced perturbations in rumen microbial community structure and function disrupt fermentation homeostasis, consequently impairing production performance and increasing health risks in ruminants. Quorum sensing (QS), a crucial mechanism governing microbial collective behavior and intercellular communication, is increasingly recognized for its role in ecological adaptation of rumen microbiota, yet direct evidence for its regulatory role in the rumen remains limited. This review summarizes the impacts of diverse stressors, including heat stress, cold stress, transport stress, and nutritional stress, on rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial community composition. Building upon this foundation, we discuss the alterations in QS signaling molecules and elucidate underlying microbial adaptation mechanisms from the perspectives of homeostasis disruption, signal transduction, and collective behavior regulation. Although QS-based nutritional and management strategies have shown preliminary potential for alleviating rumen stress, their effectiveness under practical production conditions requires further validation. This review provides a conceptual framework for understanding the potential role of QS in rumen microbial adaptation to environmental and nutritional stress, while highlighting current knowledge gaps and future research directions.
