How methanotrophs respond to pH: A review of ecophysiology.
Review 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
Varying pH globally affects terrestrial microbial communities and biochemical cycles. Methanotrophs effectively mitigate methane fluxes in terrestrial habitats. Many methanotrophs grow optimally at neutral pH. However, recent discoveries show that methanotrophs grow in strongly acidic and alkaline environments. Here, we summarize the existing knowledge on the ecophysiology of methanotrophs under different pH conditions. The distribution pattern of diverse subgroups is described with respect to their relationship with pH. In addition, their responses to pH stress, consisting of structure-function traits and substrate affinity traits, are reviewed. Furthermore, we propose a putative energy trade-off model aiming at shedding light on the adaptation mechanisms of methanotrophs from a novel perspective. Finally, we take an outlook on methanotrophs' ecophysiology affected by pH, which would offer new insights into the methane cycle and global climate change.
