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

The gut microbiome plays an important role in insect evolution and ecology. Bacteria support the host's nutrition and defense and therefore play an important role in the fitness of the host. Halyomorpha halys is one of the most important invasive pest species in the world. Native to North-Eastern Asia, this Pentatomid bug has recently invaded North America and Europe, causing significant damage to agricultural production. Although an increasing number of studies investigated the biology of this pest species, little is known about the composition of its gut microbiota. Like many other Pentatomid species, H. halys harbors a primary symbiont called "Candidatus Pantoea carbekii," which produces vitamins and essential amino acids for the host. However, information about the presence of other bacteria is currently lacking. Therefore, we investigated the gut microbiota of H. halys individuals, which were collected in the field across the year using a high-throughput 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding approach. Our results revealed 3309 different ASVs associated with H. halys, with Pantoea being the most abundant symbiont, present in almost all individuals. Additionally, many individuals harbor Commensalibacter, a genus of acetic acid bacterial symbionts. Besides these two predominant taxa, we show a high diversity of microorganisms associated with H. halys with seasonal fluctuations, highlighting a dynamic microbiota that might influence the biology of this species.
