Spatiotemporal Characterization of San Francisco Bay Denitrifying Communities: a Comparison of nirK and nirS Diversity and Abundance.
Article in Microbial ecology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Denitrifying bacteria play a critical role in the estuarine nitrogen cycle. Through the transformation of nitrate into nitrogen gas, these organisms contribute to the loss of bioavailable (i.e., fixed) nitrogen from low-oxygen environments such as estuary sediments. Denitrifiers have been shown to vary in abundance and diversity across the spatial environmental gradients that characterize estuaries, such as salinity and nitrogen availability; however, little is known about how their communities change in response to temporal changes in those environmental properties. Here, we present a 1-year survey of sediment denitrifier communities along the estuarine salinity gradient of San Francisco Bay. We used quantitative PCR and sequencing of functional genes coding for a key denitrifying enzyme, dissimilatory nitrite reductase, to compare two groups of denitrifiers: those with nirK (encoding copper-dependent nitrite reductase) and those with nirS (encoding the cytochrome-cd
