Microbial community compositions and sulfate-reducing bacterial profiles in malodorous urban canal sediments.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Anthropogenically impacted urban canals represent distinct freshwater ecosystems that could shape microbial communities in underlying sediments; however, knowledge of the relationships between environmental factors and microbial community compositions and their functions in such an environment is limited. This study characterized the microbial community compositions of malodorous canal sediments at six locations along the Saen Saep Canal in Thailand. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (MiSeq, Illumina) revealed dominant genera classified as fermentative bacteria, methanogens, and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), all of which emphasized anaerobic environments. SRB, as the primary producers of malodorous hydrogen sulfide, accounted for 8.2-30.4% of the total sequences. dsrB gene clone libraries further identified the SRB species. A constrained correspondence analysis demonstrated a spatial pattern of SRB that correlated with physicochemical parameters in which nitrate and sulfate in sediments were the most influencing factors. Overall, a better understanding of the SRB and other related microorganisms in canal sediments can assist in the future implementation of appropriate olfactory abatement and management methodologies in urban canals.
