Deciphering Metabolic Currencies That Support Marine Microbial Networks.
Article in mSystems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Microbes are omnipresent in the biosphere and perform biological and chemical processes critical to ecosystem function, nutrient cycling, and global climate regulation. In the ocean, microbes constitute more than two-thirds of biomass with abundances reaching over one million microbial cells per milliliter of seawater. Our understanding of the marine microbial world has rapidly expanded with use of innovative molecular and chemical 'omics tools to uncover previously hidden taxonomic diversity, spatiotemporal distributions, and novel metabolic functions. Recognition that specific microbial taxa cooccur in consistent patterns in the ocean has implicated microbe-microbe interactions as important, but poorly constrained, regulators of microbial activity. Here, I examine cooperative interactions among marine plankton, with a focus on the metabolic "currencies" that establish microbial partnerships in the surface-ocean trade economy. I discuss current and future directions to study microbial metabolic interactions in order to strengthen our understanding of ecosystem interdependencies and their impact on ocean biogeochemistry.
