Specific Detection of Coral-Associated Ruegeria, a Potential Probiotic Bacterium, in Corals and Subtropical Seawater.
Article in Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Coral microbial flora has been attracting attention because of their potential to protect corals from environmental stresses or pathogens. Although coral-associated bacteria are considered to be acquired from seawater, little is known about the relationships between microbial composition in corals and its surrounding seawater. Here, we tested several methods to identify coral-associated bacteria in coral and its surrounding seawater to detect specific types of Ruegeria species, some of which exhibit growth inhibition activities against the coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. We first isolated coral-associated bacteria from the reef-building coral Galaxea fascicularis collected at Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan, via random colony picking, which showed the existence of varieties of bacteria including Ruegeria species. Using newly constructed primers for colony PCR, several Ruegeria species were successfully isolated from G. fascicularis and seawater. We further investigated the seawater microbiome in association with the distance from coral reefs. By seasonal sampling, it was suggested that the seawater microbiome is more affected by seasonality than the distance from coral reefs. These methods and results may contribute to investigating and understanding the relationships between the presence of corals and microbial diversity in seawater, in addition to the efficient isolation of specific bacterial species from coral or its surrounding seawater.
