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

The remineralization of organic material via heterotrophy in the marine environment is performed by a diverse and varied group of microorganisms that can specialize in the type of organic material degraded and the niche they occupy. The marine Dadabacteria are cosmopolitan in the marine environment and belong to a candidate phylum for which there has not been a comprehensive assessment of the available genomic data to date. Here in, we assess the functional potential of the marine pelagic Dadabacteria in comparison to members of the phylum that originate from terrestrial, hydrothermal, and subsurface environments. Our analysis reveals that the marine pelagic Dadabacteria have streamlined genomes, corresponding to smaller genome sizes and lower nitrogen content of their DNA and predicted proteome, relative to their phylogenetic counterparts. Collectively, the Dadabacteria have the potential to degrade microbial dissolved organic matter, specifically peptidoglycan and phospholipids. The marine Dadabacteria belong to two clades with apparent distinct ecological niches in global metagenomic data: a clade with the potential for photoheterotrophy through the use of proteorhodopsin, present predominantly in surface waters up to 100 m depth; and a clade lacking the potential for photoheterotrophy that is more abundant in the deep photic zone.
