1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOA and AOB), complete ammonia oxidizers (Comammox), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) play a crucial role in the nitrification process during the nitrogen cycle. However, their occurrence and diversity in mangrove ecosystems are still not fully understood. Here, a total of 11 pairs of PCR primers were evaluated to study the distribution and abundances of these nitrifiers in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere sediments of a mangrove ecosystem. The amplification efficiency of these 11 pairs of primers was first evaluated and their performances were found to vary considerably. The CamoA-19F/CamoA-616R primer pair was suitable for the amplification of AOA in mangrove sediments, especially on the surface of rhizosphere sediments. Primer pair amoA1F/amoA2R was better for the characterization of novel AOB in the bacterial community of non-rhizosphere sediments of mangroves. In contrast, primer nxrB169F/nxrB638R showed a low abundance of NOB in mangrove sediments (except for R1). Comammox bacteria were abundant and diverse in mangrove sediments, as indicated by both the amoB gene for Comammox clade A and the amoA gene for Comammox Nitrospira clade B. However, the amoA gene for Comammox Nitrospira clade A was not successful in detecting them in the mangrove sediments. Furthermore, 568 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained by generating a clone library and a high abundance of OTUs was correlated with ammonium, pH, NO
