Spatial variations of microbial communities in abyssal and hadal sediments across the Challenger Deep.
Article in PeerJ, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Microbial communities in hadal sediments are least explored in hadal zone (>6,000 m), especially in the Challenger Deep with high pressure (∼110 M pa at the bottom). In this study, we investigated the microbial communities in the sediments of the slope and trench-axis bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. Classification of the reads of the 16S rRNA gene amplicons showed vertical distribution of prokaryotic microbial inhabitants from the surface to up to 60 centimeter below surface floor (cmbsf). The most dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes and candidate phyla Patescibacteria and Marinimicrobia. Distinct dominant groups in the microbial communities were observed in trench-axis sediment (water depth >8,600 m), compared to the slopes of the Challenger Deep. A sampling site at the northern slope was enriched with archaea from mesophilic Euryarchaeota Marine Group II (MGII) as a biomarker of specific geochemical setting. Among archaeal community, Thaumarchaeota represented by
