Cultivable microbial diversity in speleothems using MALDI-TOF spectrometry and DNA sequencing from Krem Soitan, Krem Lawbah, Krem Mawpun, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, India.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The microbial diversity in the Indian caves is inadequately characterized. This study reports on the culturable microbial communities in caves from the Indian sub-continent. This study aims to expand the current understanding of bacterial diversity in the speleothems and wall deposits from Krem Soitan, Krem Lawbah, Krem Mawpun in Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, India. A culture-dependent approach was employed for elucidating the community structure in the caves using MALDI-TOF spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A high bacterial diversity and a greater bacterial taxonomic diversity is reported using MALDI-TOF spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. High microbial enumerations were observed on dilute nutrient agar (5.3 × 10
