Diversity and functional profile of bacterial communities at Lancaster acid mine drainage dam, South Africa as revealed by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing analysis.
Article in Extremophiles : life under extreme conditions, 2019. 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
This study surveyed physicochemical properties and bacterial community structure of water and sediments from an acid mine drainage (AMD) dam in South Africa. High-throughput sequence analysis revealed low diversity bacterial communities affiliated within 8 dominant phyla; Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Nitrospirae, Proteobacteria, Saccharibacteria, and ca. TM6_(Dependentiae). Acidiphilium spp. which are common AMD inhabitants but rarely occur as dominant taxa, were the most abundant in both AMD water and sediments. Other groups making up the community are less common AMD inhabitants; Acidibacillus, Acidibacter, Acidobacterium, Acidothermus, Legionella, Metallibacterium, Mycobacterium, as well as elusive taxa (Saccharibacteria, ca. TM6_(Dependentiae) and ca. JG37-AG-4). Although most of the taxa are shared between sediment and water communities, alpha diversity indices indicate a higher species richness in the sediments. From canonical correspondence analysis, DOC, Mn, Cu, Cr, Al, Fe, Ca were identified as important determinants of community structure in water, compared to DOC, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mg, K, Mn, Al, sulfates, and nitrates in sediments. Predictive functional profiling recovered genes associated with bacterial growth and those related to survival and adaptation to the harsh environmental conditions. Overall, the study reports on a distinct AMD bacterial community and highlights sediments as microhabitats with higher species richness than water.
