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

We pyrosequenced the bulk DNA extracted from microorganisms that passed through 0.2-μm-pore-size filters and trapped by 0.1-μm-pore-size filters in the hydrothermal fluid of the Mariana Trough. Using the 454-FLX sequencer, we generated 202,648 sequences with an average length of 173.8 bases. Functional profiles were assigned by the SEED Annotation Engine. In the metagenome of the 0.2-μm-passable microorganisms, genes related to membrane function, including potassium homeostasis classified as membrane transport, and multidrug-resistance efflux pumps classified as virulence, were dominant. There was a higher proportion of genes pertinent to the subsystem of membrane transport in our metagenomic library than in other oceanic and hydrothermal vent metagenomes. Genes associated with a RND-type efflux transporter for exogenous substances were specifically identified in the present study. After a comparative analysis with the genome of the known ultramicrobacterium Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256, we discovered 1,542 cases of significant hits (E < 1 × 10(-2)) in our metagenome, and 1,172 of those were related to the DNA repair protein RadA. In this way, the microbial functional profile of 0.2-μm-passable fraction in the present study differs from oceanic metagenomes in the 0.2-μm-trapped fractions and hydrothermal vent metagenomes reported in previous research.
