Spatial and temporal changes of parasitic chytrids of cyanobacteria.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. 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
Parasitism is certainly one of the most important driving biotic factors of cyanobacterial blooms which remains largely understudied. Among these parasites, fungi from the phylum Chytridiomycota (i.e. chytrids) are the only eukaryotic microorganisms infecting cyanobacteria. Here, we address spatiotemporal dynamics of the cyanobacterial host Dolichospermum macrosporum (syn. Anabaena macrospora) and its associated chytrid parasites, Rhizosiphon spp., in an eutrophic lake by studying spatial (vertical, horizontal) and temporal (annual and inter-annual) variations. Our results show homogenous chytrid infection patterns along the water column and across sampling stations. However, the prevalence of infection presented drastic changes with time, at both intra- and inter-annual scales. In 2007, a maximum of 98% of vegetative cells were infected by R. crassum whereas this fungal species was not reported seven years later. In opposite, R. akinetum, a chytrid infecting only akinetes, increased its prevalence by 42% during the same period. High chytrid infection rate on the akinetes might have sizeable consequences on host recruitment (and proliferation) success from year to year, as supported by the recorded inter-annual host dynamics (affecting also the success of other chytrid parasites). The spatial homogenous chytrid infection on this cyanobacterium, coupled to both seasonal and inter-annual changes indicates that time, rather than space, controls such highly dynamic host-parasite relationships.
