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

Myxobacteria are abundant micropredators in soil, and are social bacteria with multicellular behavior and producers of versatile secondary metabolites. The interaction between predator and prey populations is an important component in the soil microbial food web, and this is expected to shape the composition and dynamics of microbial communities. Here we hypothesize the regulation of bacterial abundance and community composition on soil myxobacterial community. Field investigation indicated that the relative abundance of Myxococcales in subtropical and tropical forest soil from South China was 1.49-4.74% of all the 16S rRNA gene sequences, and myxobacterial community composition differed between subtropical and tropical forest. The canonical correspondence analysis and variation partitioning analysis indicated that biotic factor (bacterial community composition) showed slightly stronger explanation for variation of myxobacteria than soil properties (soil pH and soil organic matter). Based on the rhizosphere bacterial network, the greenhouse mesocosm experiment showed that most of the myxobacterial links were with Gram-negative bacteria, except that some nodes from Haliangiacea and Polyangiaceae interacted with actinomycetes and actinomycetes-like Gram-positive bacteria. We inferred that myxobacteria preferential predation on specific bacterial taxa may explain the influence of bacteria on myxobacterial community. Further study confirming the biological process of myxobacterial predation in situ is necessary to advance the understanding of the ecological role of predation behavior in the microbial world.
