1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Oil reservoirs have been shown to house numerous microbial lineages that differ based on the in-situ pH, salinity and temperature of the subsurface environment. Lineages of Firmicutes, including Clostridiales, have been frequently detected in oil reservoirs, but are typically not considered impactful or relevant due to their spore-forming nature. Here we show, using metagenomics, a high temperature oil reservoir of marine salinity contains a microbial population that is predominantly from within the Order Clostridiales. These organisms form an oil-reservoir specific clade based on the phylogenies of both 16S rRNA genes and ribosomal proteins, which we propose to name
