Particle-associated bacteria in seawater dominate the colony-forming microbiome on ZoBell marine agar.
Article in FEMS microbiology ecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Planktonic particle-associated bacteria comprise particle-attached and motile free-living cells. These groups were obtained by settlement in Imhoff cones. Dilution plating on marine agar 2216 (ZoBell marine agar) and microscopic counts indicated a cultivability of 0.7% (0.4%-1.2%) of bacteria in coastal seawater collected at Helgoland Roads, North Sea. Particle-associated bacteria presented a minority population in seawater, but had a larger cultivability of 25% (0.9%-100%) for populations collected by settlement of particles and 5.7% (0.9%-24%) for populations collected by filtration. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that 84% of the cultured taxa were either enriched in particle-associated microbiomes or only found in these microbiomes, including Sulfitobacter and other Rhodobacteraceae, Pseudoalteromonas, Psychromonas, Arcobacter and many Flavobacteriaceae. Illumina-based 16S rRNA V3V4 amplicon sequences of plate communities revealed that nearly all operational taxonomic units had a cultivated and described strain in close phylogenetic proximity. This suggested that decades of strain isolation from seawater on ZoBell marine agar had achieved a very good coverage of cultivable genera abundant in nature. The majority belonged to particle-associated bacteria, complementing observations that abundant free-living seawater bacteria often require cultivation conditions closer to their natural habitat like liquid cultivation in oligotrophic medium.
