Occurrence and diversity of Legionellaceae in polar lakes of the Antarctic peninsula.
Article in Current microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Legionellaceae is a family of gram-negative, mesophilic, and facultative intracellular parasitic bacteria that inhabits freshwater environments. In this article, the Legionella population of water samples from the North and South Lake, located close to the Brazilian Scientific Station on King George Island, Keller Peninsula, Antarctica has been characterized. Culture onto selective medium and a independent-culture method were applied to the samples. In our attempt to isolate Legionella species from Antarctic lakes, we were able to obtain one L. pneumophila colony by an amoebic coculture procedure followed by plate culture onto a selective medium. In addition, results obtained from phylogenetic inference showed the presence of noncharacterized specimens of Legionella spp. These findings indicated the presence of legionellae in Antarctica and suggest that these bacteria can adapt to extreme conditions and open new possibilities for understanding the survival strategies of mesophilic Legionellaceae living in Antarctic environments. Furthermore, the isolation of these symbiotic bacteria in Antarctic lakes will allow future studies on cold-resistant mechanisms of legionellae in polar environments.
