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

Natural occurring groundwater with abnormally high ammonium concentrations was discovered in the aquifer-aquitard system in the Pearl River Delta, South China. The community composition and abundance of aerobic/anaerobic ammonia/ammonium-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) in the aquitard were investigated in this study. The alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) was used as the biomarker for the detection of aerobic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), and also partial 16S rRNA gene for Plantomycetes and anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis showed that AOA in this aquitard were affiliated with those from water columns and wastewater treatment plants; and AOB were dominated by sequences among the Nitrosomonas marina/Nitrosomonas oligotropha lineage, which were affiliated with environmental sequences from coastal eutrophic bay and subtropical estuary. The richness and diversity of both AOA and AOB communities had very little variations with the depth. Candidatus Scalindua-related sequences dominated the anammox bacterial community. AOB amoA gene abundances were always higher than those of AOA at different depths in this aquitard. The Pearson moment correlation analysis showed that AOA amoA gene abundance positively correlated with pH and ammonium concentration, whereas AOB amoA gene abundance negatively correlated with C/N ratio. This is the first report that highlights the presence with low diversity of AOM communities in natural aquitard of rich ammonium.
