Environmental Sequencing Fills the Gap Between Parasitic Haplosporidians and Free-living Giant Amoebae.
Article in The Journal of eukaryotic 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
Class Ascetosporea (Rhizaria; Endomyxa) comprises many parasites of invertebrates. Within this group, recent group-specific environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have contributed to the establishment of the new order Mikrocytida, a new phylogeny and characterization of Paramyxida, and illuminated the diversity and distribution of haplosporidians. Here, we use general and lineage-specific PCR primers to investigate the phylogenetic "gap" between haplosporidians and their closest known free-living relatives, the testate amoeba Gromia and reticulate amoeba Filoreta. Within this gap are Paradinium spp. parasites of copepods, which we show to be highly diverse and widely distributed in planktonic and benthic samples. We reveal a robustly supported radiation of parasites, ENDO-3, comprised of Paradinium and three further clades (ENDO-3a, ENDO-3b and SPP). A further environmental group, ENDO-2, perhaps comprising several clades, branches between this radiation and the free-living amoebae. Early diverging haplosporidians were also amplified, often associated with bivalves or deep-sea samples. The general primer approach amplified an overlapping set of novel lineages within ENDO-3 and Haplosporida, whereas the group-specific primer strategy, targeted to amplify from the earliest known divergent haplosporidians to Gromia, generated greater sequence diversity across part of this phylogenetic range.
