Bacterial community structure of sediments of the bizerte lagoon (Tunisia), a southern Mediterranean coastal anthropized lagoon.

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
In order to estimate how pollution affects the bacterial community structure and composition of sediments, chemical and molecular approaches were combined to investigate eight stations around the Bizerte lagoon. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes revealed that each station was characterized by a specific bacterial community structure. The combination of this data with those of chemical analysis showed a correlation between the bacterial fingerprint and the pollutant content, principally with hydrocarbon pollution. The composition of the bacterial community of two contrasted stations related to the pollution revealed sequences affiliated to alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon subclass of the Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria in both stations although in different extent. Gamma and delta subclass of the Proteobacteria were dominant and represent 70% of clones in the heavy-metal-contaminated station and 47% in the polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated. Nevertheless, most of the sequences found were unaffiliated to cultured bacteria. The adaptation of the bacterial community mainly to PAH compounds demonstrated here and the fact that these bacterial communities are mainly unknown suggest that the Bizerte lagoon is an interesting environment to understand the capacity of bacteria to cope with some pollutants.
