Article in Microbial ecology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Microbial methane oxidizers play a crucial role in the oxidation of methane in marine ecosystems, as such preventing the escape of excessive methane to the atmosphere. Despite the important role of methanotrophs in marine ecosystems, only a limited number of isolates are described, with only four genomes available. Here, we report on two genomes of gammaproteobacterial methanotroph cultures, affiliated with the deep-sea cluster 2, obtained from North Sea sediment. Initial enrichments using methane as sole source of carbon and energy and mimicking the in situ conditions followed by serial subcultivations and multiple extinction culturing events over a period of 3 years resulted in a highly enriched culture. The draft genomes of the methane oxidizer in both cultures showed the presence of genes typically found in type I methanotrophs, including genes encoding particulate methane monooxygenase (pmoCAB), genes for tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT)- and tetrahydrofolate (H4F)-dependent C1-transfer pathways, and genes of the ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway. The most distinctive feature, when compared to other available gammaproteobacterial genomes, is the absence of a calcium-dependent methanol dehydrogenase. Both genomes reported here only have a xoxF gene encoding a lanthanide-dependent XoxF5-type methanol dehydrogenase. Thus, these genomes offer novel insight in the genomic landscape of uncultured diversity of marine methanotrophs.
