Broad phylogenetic and functional diversity among mixotrophic consumers of Prochlorococcus.
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 17 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
Small eukaryotic phytoplankton are major contributors to global primary production and marine biogeochemical cycles. Many taxa are thought to be mixotrophic, but quantitative studies of phagotrophy exist for very few. In addition, little is known about consumers of Prochlorococcus, the abundant cyanobacterium at the base of oligotrophic ocean food webs. Here we describe thirty-nine new phytoplankton isolates from the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (Station ALOHA), all flagellates ~2-5 µm diameter, and we quantify their ability to graze Prochlorococcus. The mixotrophs are from diverse classes (dictyochophytes, haptophytes, chrysophytes, bolidophytes, a dinoflagellate, and a chlorarachniophyte), many from previously uncultured clades. Grazing ability varied substantially, with specific clearance rate (volume cleared per body volume) varying over ten-fold across isolates and six-fold across genera. Slower grazers tended to create more biovolume per prey biovolume consumed. Using qPCR we found that the haptophyte Chrysochromulina was most abundant among the isolated mixotrophs at Station ALOHA, with 76-250 cells mL
