Viral pathogen infection drives deterministic assembly of plant endophytic microbiomes: soil properties as divergent drivers and low-abundance taxa as primary responders.

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
Understanding how viral pathogens reshape plant endophytic community assembly is essential for assessing soil biological health, given that soil is the primary microbial reservoir, but key knowledge gaps persist. Using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, we investigated potato virus Y (PVY) infection effects on the assembly processes in plant endophytic community and their associations with soil properties. PVY infection significantly affected β-diversity (but not α-diversity) of endophytes in roots, but had no significant impact on either α- or β-diversity in leaves and enhanced deterministic assembly by 17% in roots and 3% in leaves. In infected plant root, endophytic community exhibited increased significantly in the importance of heterogeneous selection (HeS) and homogeneous selection (HoS) alongside decreased significantly in dispersal limitation (DL). Conversely, the importance of drift (DR) significantly increased in endophytic community assembly for infected leaves. Such virus-induced deterministic assembly was significantly correlated with soil physicochemical properties. For example, pH negatively correlated with the importance of HeS in endophytic community of infected leaves (
