Environmentally-driven gene content convergence and the Bacillus phylogeny.
Article in BMC evolutionary biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
backgroundMembers of the Bacillus genus have been isolated from a variety of environments. However, the relationship between potential metabolism and the niche from which bacteria of this genus have been isolated has not been extensively studied. The existence of a monophyletic aquatic Bacillus group, composed of members isolated from both marine and fresh water has been proposed. Here, we present a phylogenetic/phylogenomic analysis to investigate the potential relationship between the environment from which group members have been isolated and their evolutionary origin. We also carried out hierarchical clustering based on functional content to test for potential environmental effects on the genetic content of these bacteria.
resultsThe phylogenetic reconstruction showed that Bacillus strains classified as aquatic have evolutionary origins in different lineages. Although we observed the presence of a clade consisting exclusively of aquatic Bacillus, it is not comprised of the same strains previously reported. In contrast to phylogeny, clustering based on the functional categories of the encoded proteomes resulted in groups more compatible with the environments from which the organisms were isolated. This evidence suggests a detectable environmental influence on bacterial genetic content, despite their different evolutionary origins.
conclusionOur results suggest that aquatic Bacillus species have polyphyletic origins, but exhibit convergence at the gene content level.
