Prevalence and pollution characteristics of antibiotic resistant genes in one high anthropogenically-impacted river.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 objectives of this study were to comprehensively investigate the occurrence, distribution, and mobility of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in the biofilm, water, and sediment from a section of the Weihe-river, in the northern Henan province, China. The abundances of nine ARGs belonging to four commonly used antibiotic classes (tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, and multidrug) and class 1 integron-integrase gene (intI1) were quantified. Sulfonamides gene (sulI) accounted for the highest percentage of detected ARGs in most sampling sites, including in water, biofilm, and sediment. Among the resistance genes, IntI1 and sul1 were significantly correlated (r>0.800, p<0.01) with a fecal coliform (FC) detected in the biofilm, and there was also a significantly positive correlation between the abundances of 16SrRNA and intI1 in the biofilms. Compared with the sediment and water samples, the biofilms contained sufficient nutrients to promote bacterial reproduction. Under sufficient total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, the horizontal gene transfer due to intI1 plays a key role in the formation and migration of ARGs within biofilms.
