Insights into the global freshwater virome.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Viruses are by far the most abundant life forms on this planet. Yet, the full viral diversity remains mostly unknown, especially in environments like freshwater. Therefore, we aimed to study freshwater viruses in a global context. To this end, we downloaded 380 publicly available viral metagenomes (>1 TB). More than 60% of these metagenomes were discarded based on their levels of cellular contamination assessed by ribosomal DNA content. For the remaining metagenomes, assembled contigs were decontaminated using two consecutive steps, eventually yielding 273,365 viral contigs longer than 1,000 bp. Long enough contigs (≥ 10 kb) were clustered to identify novel genomes/genome fragments. We could recover 549 complete circular and high-quality draft genomes, out of which 10 were recognized as being novel. Functional annotation of these genomes showed that most of the annotated coding sequences are DNA metabolic genes or phage structural genes. On the other hand, taxonomic analysis of viral contigs showed that most of the assigned contigs belonged to the order
