1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bacteria of candidate phylum OP8 (Aminicenantes) have been identified in various terrestrial and marine ecosystems as a result of molecular analysis of microbial communities. So far, none of the representatives of Aminicenantes have been isolated in a pure culture. We assembled the near-complete genome of a member of Aminicenantes from the metagenome of the 2-km-deep subsurface thermal aquifer in Western Siberia and used genomic data to analyze the metabolic pathways of this bacterium and its ecological role. This bacterium, designated BY38, was predicted to be rod shaped, it lacks flagellar machinery but twitching motility is encoded. Analysis of the BY38 genome revealed a variety of glycosyl hydrolases that can enable utilization of carbohydrates, including chitin, cellulose, starch, mannose, galactose, fructose, fucose, rhamnose, maltose and arabinose. The reconstructed central metabolic pathways suggested that Aminicenantes bacterium BY38 is an anaerobic organotroph capable of fermenting carbohydrates and proteinaceous substrates and performing anaerobic respiration with nitrite. In the deep subsurface aquifer Aminicenantes probably act as destructors of buried organic matter and produce hydrogen and acetate. Based on phylogenetic and genomic analyses, the novel bacterium is proposed to be classified as Candidatus Saccharicenans subterraneum.
