Withhold sfSynCom strain-resolved graph attribution pending membership verification #1818

Finding

CommunityMech:000064 / Soybean_N_Fixation_sfSynCom, PMID:40052412. The accessible abstract reports two Pantoea helpers among helper strains, but does not identify their names or the complete final sfSynCom membership. The record assumes exactly three microbial members and uses ordinal helper labels as strain names. Its two duplicated MUTUALISM nodes and two arrows assign a source-wide result to these unverified slots, and the final pairwise plant node converts a consortium-level comparison into reciprocal pairwise benefit. Withhold all three strain/formulation-attributed nodes pending the separate identity audit; retain the positive published observations and access limitations in a source-grounded discussion. Do not reject the paper, silently identify another community, or add new biological enhancement procedures.
