Influences of anthropogenic land use on microbial community structure and functional potentials of stream benthic biofilms.
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 16 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
Stream ecosystems are the primary receivers of nutrient and organic carbon exported from terrestrial ecosystems and are profoundly influenced by the land use of the surrounding landscape. The aquatic impacts of anthropogenic land use are often first observed in stream benthic biofilms. We studied the benthic biofilms in streams flowing through forest (upstream) and anthropogenic land use (downstream) areas in southwestern China. The results showed that anthropogenic land use increased nutrient and organic carbon in both stream water and benthic biofilms, which are closely related to the differences in the microbial communities. The taxonomic dissimilarity of the communities was significantly correlated with the functional gene dissimilarity, and the upstream sites had more distinct functional genes. Network analysis showed that upstream sites had more highly connected microbial networks. Furthermore, downstream sites had higher relative abundances of anammox and denitrification suggesting stronger nitrogen removal than upstream sites. Increased nutrients in both the stream water and biofilms caused by anthropogenic land use had severe impacts on the nitrogen cycle in stream ecosystems. Downstream sites also had stronger carbon metabolism than upstream sites. This study provides insights into the influences of anthropogenic land use on microbial community structure and functions of stream benthic biofilms.
