Chronic Environmental Perturbation Influences Microbial Community Assembly Patterns.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Acute environmental perturbations are reported to induce deterministic microbial community assembly, while it is hypothesized that chronic perturbations promote development of alternative stable states. Such acute or chronic perturbations strongly impact on the pre-adaptation capacity to the perturbation. To determine the importance of the level of microbial pre-adaptation and the community assembly processes following acute or chronic perturbations in the context of hydrocarbon contamination, a model system of pristine and polluted (hydrocarbon-contaminated) sediments was incubated in the absence or presence (discrete or repeated) of hydrocarbon amendment. The community structure of the pristine sediments changed significantly following acute perturbation, with selection of different phylotypes not initially detectable. Conversely, historically polluted sediments maintained the initial community structure, and the historical legacy effect of chronic pollution likely facilitated community stability. An alternative stable state was also reached in the pristine sediments following chronic perturbation, further demonstrating the existence of a legacy effect. Finally, ecosystem functional resilience was demonstrated through occurrence of hydrocarbon degradation by different communities in the tested sites, but the legacy effect of perturbation also strongly influenced the biotic response. This study therefore demonstrates the importance of perturbation chronicity on microbial community assembly processes and reveals ecosystem functional resilience following environmental perturbation.
