Acanthamoeba can propagate on thermophilic Sulfolobus spp.

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
Acanthamoeba isolation from extreme environments suggests that they may play a role in regulating archaeal densities and contribute to these ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Acanthamoeba grow on extremophilic/mesophilic Archaea that are dominant cellular organisms in such environments. Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 and Sulfolobus shibatae were used as representative of Archaea, while Escherichia coli K-12 strain HB101 was used as a positive control for amoeba growth. Acanthamoeba castellanii were inoculated on nonnutrient agar plates containing lawns of Sulfolobus and E. coli. The cultures of Sulfolobus supported A. castellanii growth similar to E. coli K-12, HB101. Overall, the findings revealed that Acanthamoeba feed on Sulfolobus, which may explain amoebae presence in extreme environments. This feeding behavior is important as extremophilic/mesophilic Archaea are known to play a role in biogeochemical cycling of different elements in their natural habitat impacting different ecosystems.
