Microbial communities associated with thermogenic gas hydrate-bearing marine sediments in Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea.
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 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
Biogenic and thermogenic gas are two major contributors to gas hydrate formation. Methane hydrates from both origins may have critical impacts on the ecological properties of marine sediments. However, research on microbial diversity in thermogenic hydrate-containing sediments is limited. This study examined the prokaryotic diversity and distributions along a sediment core with a vertical distribution of thermogenic gas hydrates with different occurrences obtained from the Qiongdongnan Basin by Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA genes as well as molecular and geochemical techniques. Here, we show that gas hydrate occurrence has substantial impacts on both microbial diversity and community composition. Compared to the hydrate-free zone, distinct microbiomes with significantly higher abundance and lower diversity were observed within the gas hydrate-containing layers.
