Extracellular electron uptake in Methanosarcinales is independent of multiheme c-type cytochromes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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 co-occurrence of Geobacter and Methanosarcinales is often used as a proxy for the manifestation of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in the environment. Here we tested eleven new co-culture combinations between methanogens and electrogens. Previously, only the most electrogenic Geobacter paired by DIET with Methanosarcinales methanogens, namely G. metallireducens and G. hydrogenophilus. Here we provide additional support, and show that five additional Methanosarcinales paired with G. metallireducens, while a strict hydrogenotroph could not. We also show that G. hydrogenophilus, which is incapable to grow with a strict hydrogenotrophic methanogen, could pair with a strict non-hydrogenotrophic Methanosarcinales. Likewise, an electrogen outside the Geobacter cluster (Rhodoferrax ferrireducens) paired with Methanosarcinales but not with strict hydrogenotrophic methanogens. The ability to interact with electrogens appears to be conserved among Methanosarcinales, the only methanogens with c-type cytochromes, including multihemes (MHC). Nonetheless, MHC, which are often linked to extracellular electron transfer, were neither unique nor universal to Methanosarcinales and only two of seven Methanosarcinales tested had MHC. Of these two, one strain had an MHC-deletion knockout available, which we hereby show is still capable to retrieve extracellular electrons from G. metallireducens or an electrode suggesting an MHC-independent strategy for extracellular electron uptake.
