Anthropogenic Activities Induce Depletion in Microbial Communities at Urban Sites of the River Ganges.
Article in Current microbiology, 2018. 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
The Ganges is the largest river of India, worshiped by Hindus with a belief that bathing in the river causes the remission of sins and is considered very pure. It is heavily polluted by the unrestricted human usage including ritual practices, urbanization, and industrialization. Such perturbations may subsequently influence the bacterial community composition and ecosystem functioning. Here, we applied targeted amplicon sequencing to determine the impact of spatial variation on the microbial community assemblage of the Ganga River. The river bacterial community demonstrates taxonomic variability across the sites with accumulation of Firmicutes (20.9%) Verrucomicrobia (6.09%), Actinobacteria (4.51%), and Synergistetes (1.16%), at rural site while Proteobacteria (49.4%) and Bacteroidetes (12.7%) predominate at urban sites. Furthermore, sites under study establish the unique taxonomic signature which could represent the impact of spatial variation on the microbial community assemblage.
