Endophytic Microbial Community Structure and Dynamics Influence Agarwood Formation in Aquilaria malaccensis Lam.
Article in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Aquilaria malaccensis Lam., an Agarwood-producing tree native to Southeast Asia, secretes oleoresin, a resin with diverse applications, in response to injuries. To explore the role of endosphere microbial communities during Agarwood development, we utilized a metagenomics approach across three stages: non-symptomatic (NC), symptomatic early (IN), and symptomatic mature (IN1). The NC metagenome was dominated by Bacillus (19.15%), Klebsiella (13.25%), and Pantoea (12.46%) among bacteria and Saccharomyces (15.92%) among fungi. Notably, bacterial chemotaxis pathway genes were more prevalent in NC (2.14%) compared to IN (0.92%) and IN1 (1.16%), suggesting microbial chemotactic behavior. In the IN stage, Klebsiella (27.05%) and Saccharomyces (34.81%) were the dominant genera. The IN1 metagenome featured Pantoea (8.92%) and Neurospora (8.24%) as leading bacterial and fungal genera, respectively. Functional genes associated with defense mechanisms, lipid transport, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis were increasingly represented in IN1, indicating an enhanced microbial response as infection progresses. Ecological indices, including a high Shannon-Wiener index (H' = 4.467) and Simpson's dominance (1 - D = 0.9697), alongside Pielou's evenness index (J = 0.7034), highlighted a dynamic and diverse microbial community at the mature infection stage, reflecting the complex interactions within the Aquilaria endosphere during Agarwood formation.
