Diversity Distribution, Driving Factors and Assembly Mechanisms of Free-Living and Particle-Associated Bacterial Communities at a Subtropical Marginal Sea.
Article in Microorganisms, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Free-living (FL) and particle-associated (PA) bacterioplankton communities play critical roles in biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. However, their community composition, assembly process and functions in the continental shelf and slope regions are poorly understood. Based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we investigated bacterial communities' driving factors, assembly processes and functional potentials at a subtropical marginal sea. The bacterioplankton community showed specific distribution patterns with respect to lifestyle (free living vs. particle associated), habitat (slope vs. shelf) and depth (surface vs. DCM and Bottom). Salinity and water temperature were the key factors modulating turnover in the FL community, whereas nitrite, silicate and phosphate were the key factors for the PA community. Model analyses revealed that stochastic processes outweighed deterministic processes and had stronger influences on PA than FL. Homogeneous selection (Hos) was more responsible for the assembly and turnover of FL, while drift and dispersal limitation contributed more to the assembly of PA. Importantly, the primary contributor to Hos in PA was Gammaproteobacteria:Others, whereas that in FL was Cyanobacteria:Bin6. Finally, the PICRUSt2 analysis indicated that the potential metabolisms of carbohydrates, cofactors, amino acids, terpenoids, polyketides, lipids and antibiotic resistance were markedly enriched in PA than FL.
