Relative abundances of proteobacterial membrane-bound and periplasmic nitrate reductases in selected environments.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 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
Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is catalyzed by a membrane-bound and a periplasmic nitrate reductase. We set up a real-time PCR assay to quantify these two enzymes, using the narG and napA genes, encoding the catalytic subunits of the two types of nitrate reductases, as molecular markers. The narG and napA gene copy numbers in DNA extracted from 18 different environments showed high variations, with most numbers ranging from 2 x 10(2) to 6.8 x 10(4) copies per ng of DNA. This study provides evidence that, in soil samples, the number of proteobacteria carrying the napA gene is often as high as that of proteobacteria carrying the narG gene. The high correlation observed between narG and napA gene copy numbers in soils suggests that the ecological roles of the corresponding enzymes might be linked.
