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

With the advent of metagenomics, a quest began to identify the dynamics of the microbial communities in different ecological niches. Altogether, this has resulted in identification of microorganisms but is limited to only a small number of phylogenetic groups that can be easily cultured. The majority of metagenomic sequencing data remains unassigned to any known microbial group and is regarded as the "microbial dark matter." Our group is now working on integrating culturomics (isolation of pure cultures) and metagenomics from extreme environments, particularly from hot water springs and chemically contaminated soils. Our target is to culture the rare extremophiles with biotechnological significance by designing culture media based on inputs from metagenomics. While culturomics integrated with metagenomics has been extensively employed for updating the microbial catalog from the human gut, there is a need to extend this approach to extreme environmental settings to explore the microbial dark matter.
