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

Marine viruses are widely distributed and influence matter and energy transformation in ecosystems by modulating hosts' metabolism. The hadal trenches represent the deepest marine habitat on Earth, for which the viral communities and related biogeochemical functions are least explored and poorly understood. Here, using the sediment samples (8720 m below sea level) collected from the New Britain Trench (NBT), we investigated the viral community, diversity, and genetic potentials in the hadal sediment habitat for the first time by deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing. We found the NBT sediment viral community was dominated by Siphoviridae, Myoviridae, Podoviridae, Mimiviridae, and Phycodnaviridae, which belong to the dsDNA viruses. However, the large majority of them remained uncharacterized. We found the hadal sediment virome had some common components by comparing the hadal sediment viruses with those of hadal aquatic habitats and those of bathypelagic and terrestrial habitats. It was also distinctive in community structure and had many novel viral clusters not associated with the other habitual virome included in our analyses. Further phylogenetic analysis on its Caudovirales showed novel diversities, including new clades specially evolved in the hadal sediment habitat. Annotation of the NBT sediment viruses indicated the viruses might influence microbial hydrocarbon biodegradation and carbon and sulfur cycling via metabolic augmentation through auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs). Our study filled in the knowledge gaps on the virome of the hadal sediment habitats and provided insight into the evolution and the potential metabolic functions of the hadal sediment virome.
