Aquatic Bacterial Diversity, Community Composition and Assembly in the Semi-Arid Inner Mongolia Plateau: Combined Effects of Salinity and Nutrient Levels.

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
Due to the recent decades of climate change and intensive human activities, endorheic lakes are threatened by both salinization and eutrophication. However, knowledge of the aquatic bacterial community's response to simultaneous increasing salinity and trophic status is still poor. To address this knowledge gap, we collected 40 surface water samples from five lakes and six rivers on the semi-arid Inner Mongolia Plateau, and investigated their bacterial communities using 16S rRNA gene-targeted amplicon sequencing. We found that bacterial species diversity significantly decreased from the mesotrophic freshwater river habitat to the eutrophic high-brackish lake habitat; salinity was more important than trophic status in explaining this decreased diversity. Salinity was the most important environmental factor in shaping community composition, while increased nitrogen loading was more important in structuring predicted functional composition. Within the lake habitats, the impact of environmental filtering on bacterial community assembly increased with the increasing salinity. The results suggested that the elevated salinity and nutrients have combined effects on the aquatic bacterial community, resulting in dramatic declines in species diversity, and promoted the importance of deterministic processes in community assembly. Our findings provide new insights into bacterial communities' responses to the intensified climate-driven and anthropogenic environmental changes in aquatic ecosystems.
