Desulfurivibrio spp. mediate sulfur-oxidation coupled to Sb(V) reduction, a novel biogeochemical process.
Article in The ISME journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Antimony (Sb) contamination released from mine tailings represents a global threat to natural ecosystems and human health. The geochemical conditions of Sb tailings, which are oligotrophic and replete in sulfur (S) and Sb, may promote the coupled metabolism of Sb and S. In this study, multiple lines of evidence indicate that a novel biogeochemical process, S oxidation coupled to Sb(V) reduction, is enzymatically mediated by Desulfurivibrio spp. The distribution of Desulfurivibrio covaried with S and Sb concentrations, showing a high relative abundance in Sb mine tailings but not in samples from surrounding sites (i.e., soils, paddies, and river sediments). Further, the metabolic potential to couple S oxidation to Sb(V) reduction, encoded by a non-canonical, oxidative sulfite reductase (dsr) and arsenate reductase (arrA) or antimonate reductase (anrA), respectively, was found to be common in Desulfurivibrio genomes retrieved from metal-contaminated sites in southern China. Elucidation of enzymatically-catalyzed S oxidation coupled to Sb(V) reduction expands the fundamental understanding of Sb biogeochemical cycling, which may be harnessed to improve remediation strategies for Sb mine tailings.
