Smart carrier-engineered microbial consortia for precision nutrient delivery in next- generation biofertilizers.
Review in Folia microbiologica, 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
With the increasing demand for sustainable agricultural productivity under a changing climate, the advancement of new-generation biofertilizers specifically based on engineered microbial consortia and smart delivery systems has become an integral part of agricultural activities. The development of next-generation biofertilizers based on engineered microbial consortia and smart delivery systems has emerged as a promising approach for sustainable nutrient management. The drawback associated with conventional microbial inoculants is their inconsistent field performance, which is attributed to the limited viability of microbes under field conditions, environmental factors, and poorly controlled nutrient release. Recent advances in synthetic biology, microbial engineering, and biomaterials have enabled the development of beneficial microbial consortia for agricultural applications. Combining these engineered microbial consortia with advanced carrier technologies, including hydrogels derived from biopolymers, nanomaterials, bio-based polymers, and responsive encapsulation matrices, can enhance microbial protection, controlled delivery, and persistence in soil. The application of methods for encapsulating microorganisms, such as spray drying, ionic gelation, extrusion, and microfluidic encapsulation, can regulate microbial release and may improve microbial survival and rhizosphere colonization. Smart carrier systems are designed to protect microbial cells and regulate their release in response to environmental and plant-associated conditions, thereby supporting more controlled microbial activity and nutrient delivery. This review examines recent developments in engineered microbial consortia, advanced encapsulation techniques, and controlled-release systems for improving nutrient-use efficiency in next-generation biofertilizer formulations.
