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

Genomic libraries derived from environmental DNA (metagenomic libraries) are useful for characterizing uncultured microorganisms. However, conventional library-screening techniques permit characterization of relatively few environmental clones. Here we describe a novel approach for characterization of a metagenomic library by hybridizing the library with DNA from a set of groundwater isolates, reference strains, and communities. A cosmid library derived from a microcosm of groundwater microorganisms was used to construct a microarray (COSMO) containing approximately 1-kb PCR products amplified from the inserts of 672 cosmids plus a set of 16S ribosomal DNA controls. COSMO was hybridized with Cy5-labeled genomic DNA from each bacterial strain, and the results were compared with the results for a common Cy3-labeled reference DNA sample consisting of a composite of genomic DNA from multiple species. The accuracy of the results was confirmed by the preferential hybridization of each strain to its corresponding rDNA probe. Cosmid clones were identified that hybridized specifically to each of 10 microcosm isolates, and other clones produced positive results with multiple related species, which is indicative of conserved genes. Many clones did not hybridize to any microcosm isolate; however, some of these clones hybridized to community genomic DNA, suggesting that they were derived from microbes that we failed to isolate in pure culture. Based on identification of genes by end sequencing of 17 such clones, DNA could be assigned to functions that have potential ecological importance, including hydrogen oxidation, nitrate reduction, and transposition. Metagenomic profiling offers an effective approach for rapidly characterizing many clones and identifying the clones corresponding to unidentified species of microorganisms.
