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 examined nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation mediated by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria. Enrichment cultures of "Candidatus Brocadia sinica" anaerobically oxidized Fe(2+) and reduced NO3(-) to nitrogen gas at rates of 3.7 ± 0.2 and 1.3 ± 0.1 (mean ± standard deviation [SD]) nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (37°C and pH 7.3). This nitrate reduction rate is an order of magnitude lower than the anammox activity of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" (10 to 75 nmol NH4(+) mg protein(-1) min(-1)). A (15)N tracer experiment demonstrated that coupling of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction was responsible for producing nitrogen gas from NO3(-) by "Ca. Brocadia sinica." The activities of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation were dependent on temperature and pH, and the highest activities were seen at temperatures of 30 to 45°C and pHs ranging from 5.9 to 9.8. The mean half-saturation constant for NO3(-) ± SD of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" was determined to be 51 ± 21 μM. Nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation was further demonstrated by another anammox bacterium, "Candidatus Scalindua sp.," whose rates of Fe(2+) oxidation and NO3(-) reduction were 4.7 ± 0.59 and 1.45 ± 0.05 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (20°C and pH 7.3). Co-occurrence of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction decreased the molar ratios of consumed NO2(-) to consumed NH4(+) (ΔNO2(-)/ΔNH4(+)) and produced NO3(-) to consumed NH4(+) (ΔNO3(-)/ΔNH4(+)). These reactions are preferable to the application of anammox processes for wastewater treatment.
