Persistent Core Populations Shape the Microbiome Throughout the Water Column in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Marine microbial communities are responsible for many important ecosystem processes in the oceans. Their variability across time and depths is well recognized, but mostly at a coarse-grained taxonomic resolution. To gain a deeper perspective on ecological patterns of bacterioplankton diversity in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, we characterized bacterioplankton communities throughout the water column at a fine-grained taxonomic level with a focus on temporally persistent (core) populations. Considerable intra-clade microdiversity was evident in virtually every microbial clade examined. While some of the most abundant populations comprised only a small fraction of the intra-clade microdiversity, they formed a temporally persistent core within a more diverse array of less abundant ephemeral populations. The depth-stratified population structure within many phylogenetically disparate clades suggested that ecotypic variation was the rule among most planktonic bacterial and archaeal lineages. Our results suggested that the abundant, persistent core populations comprised the bulk of the biomass within any given clade. As such, we postulate that these core populations are largely responsible for microbially driven ecosystem processes, and so represent ideal targets for elucidating key microbial processes in the open-ocean water column.
