Genetic and functional diversity of double-stranded DNA viruses in a tropical monsoonal estuary, India.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 present study illustrates the genetic diversity of four uncultured viral communities from the surface waters of Cochin Estuary (CE), India. Viral diversity inferred using Illumina HiSeq paired-end sequencing using a linker-amplified shotgun library (LASL) revealed different double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viral communities. The water samples were collected from four stations PR1, PR2, PR3, and PR4, during the pre-monsoon (PRM) season. Analysis of virus families indicated that the Myoviridae was the most common viral community in the CE followed by Siphoviridae and Podoviridae. There were significant (p < 0.05) spatial variations in the relative abundance of dominant families in response to the salinity regimes. The relative abundance of Myoviridae and Podoviridae were high in the euryhaline region and Siphoviridae in the mesohaline region of the estuary. The predominant phage type in CE was phages that infected Synechococcus. The viral proteins were found to be involved in major functional activities such as ATP binding, DNA binding, and DNA replication. The study highlights the genetic diversity of dsDNA viral communities and their functional protein predictions from a highly productive estuarine system. Further, the metavirome data generated in this study will enhance the repertoire of publicly available dataset and advance our understanding of estuarine viral ecology.
