Taxonomic and functional dynamics during chytrid epidemics in an aquatic ecosystem.
Article in Molecular ecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Fungal parasitism is common in plankton communities and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by balancing nutrient cycling in the food web. Previous studies of aquatic ecosystems revealed that zoosporic chytrid epidemics represent an important driving factor in phytoplankton seasonal successions. In this study, host-parasite dynamics in Lake Pavin (France) were investigated during the spring diatom bloom while following chytrid epidemics using next generation sequencing (NGS). Metabarcoding analyses were applied to study changes in the eukaryotic microbial community throughout diatom bloom-chytrid epidemics. Relative read abundances of metabarcoding data revealed potential "beneficiaries" and "victims" during the studied period. Subsequently, metatranscriptomic analyses on samples before and during the chytrid epidemic unveiled the active part of the community and functional/metabolic dynamics in association with the progress of chytrid infection. Diatom functions involving lipases, transporters, histones, vacuolar systems, the proteasome, proteases and DNA/RNA polymerases were more abundant during the diatom bloom. Chytrid functions related to a parasitic lifestyle including invasion, colonization and stress tolerance were up-regulated during the chytrid epidemic. In addition, functions related to the degradation/metabolism of proteins, lipids and chitin were in higher proportion in the community during the epidemic event. Results of NGS and bioinformatics analyses offered a panorama of dynamic biodiversity and biological functioning of the community.
