Diversity and putative interactions of parasitic alveolates belonging to Syndiniales at a coastal Pacific site.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The dinoflagellate lineage Syndiniales currently consists entirely of parasitic species that fall into five well-supported clades. Environmental sequencing studies worldwide have found an abundance of Syndiniales in a variety of marine ecosystems, but very little is known about the majority of Syndiniales species including two entire clades which have only been observed in sequence data. Syndiniales are known to have a wide range of hosts, but only a few dozen interactions have been confirmed through observation of actual infections. Here, we describe the diversity of Syndiniales found at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography pier over the course of a year based on 18S sequencing. We find Syndiniales to be the most species (amplicon sequence variant)-rich taxonomic group and for its members to be present and abundant throughout the year. We used several analytical techniques to identify potential parasite-host interactions which we were then able to visualize over time. Using mock communities and size fractionation of seawater, we suggest that the majority of Syndiniales sequences that are found in environmental studies belong to the free-living dinospore stage rather than representing active infections.
