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

Recently developed high throughput molecular techniques such as massively parallel sequencing and phylogenetic microarrays generate vast datasets providing insights into microbial community structure and function. Because of the high dimensionality of these datasets, multivariate ordination analyses are often employed to examine such data. Here, we show how the use of phylogenetic distance based redundancy analysis provides ecological interpretation of microbial community differences. We also extend the previously developed method of principal response curves to incorporate phylogenetic distance measure, and we demonstrate the improved ability of this approach to provide ecologically relevant insights into temporal alterations of microbial communities.
