Metabolic Potential of the Superphylum Patescibacteria Reconstructed from Activated Sludge Samples from a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Article in Microbes and environments, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Patescibacteria are widely distributed in various environments and often detected in activated sludge. However, limited information is currently available on their phylogeny, morphology, and ecophysiological role in activated sludge or interactions with other microorganisms. In the present study, we identified microorganisms that interacted with Patescibacteria in activated sludge via a correlation ana-lysis using the 16S rRNA gene, and predicted the metabolic potential of Patescibacteria using a metagenomic ana-lysis. The metagenome-assembled genomes of Patescibacteria consisted of three Saccharimonadia, three Parcubacteria, and one Gracilibacteria, and showed a strong positive correlation of relative abundance with Chitinophagales. Metabolic predictions from ten recovered patescibacterial and five Chitinophagales metagenome-assembled genomes supported mutualistic interactions between a member of Saccharimonadia and Chitinophagales via N-acetylglucosamine, between a member of Parcubacteria and Chitinophagales via nitrogen compounds related to denitrification, and between Gracilibacteria and Chitinophagales via phospholipids in activated sludge. The present results indicate that various interactions between Patescibacteria and Chitinophagales are important for the survival of Patescibacteria in activated sludge ecosystems.
