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

backgroundThe Himalayas have always been an enigma and, being biodiversity hotspots, are considered extremely important from an ecological point of view. Recent advances in studies regarding high-altitude lakes have garnered relevant importance as these habitats could harbor potential psychrophilic and psychrotrophic microbes with bio-prospective applications. Contemplating the above scenario, the present study has been undertaken to understand the diversity and the functional capacities of the microbes thriving in this lake.

resultsIn our present study on Samiti Lake, the abundance of Proteobacteria as the major phylum was seen in both the soil and water samples. Incase of the ABSLW (water) and ABS1 (soil) sample, 148,066 and 239,754 predicted genes, were taken for functional analysis. The KEGG analysis showed that ABSLW and ABS1 had 122,911 and 160,268, genes assigned to KO terms respectively. Whereas in case of COG functional analysis, 104,334 and 130,191 genes were assigned to different COG classes for ABSLW and ABS1 respectively. Further, on studying the glycoside hydrolases, an abundance of GH13, GH2, GH3, GH43, and GH23 in both the soil and water samples were seen.

conclusionOur study has provided a comprehensive report about the bacterial diversity and functional capacities of microbes thriving in Samiti Lake.  It has also thrown some light on the occurrence of glycoside hydrolases in this region, as they have numerous biotechnological applications in different sectors.
