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

Intertidal permeable sediments are crucial sites of organic matter remineralization. These sediments likely have a large capacity to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) because of shifting oxic-anoxic interfaces and intense iron-sulfur cycling. Here, we show that high concentrations of the ROS hydrogen peroxide are present in intertidal sediments using microsensors, and chemiluminescent analysis on extracted porewater. We furthermore investigate the effect of ROS on potential rates of microbial degradation processes in intertidal surface sediments after transient oxygenation, using slurries that transitioned from oxic to anoxic conditions. Enzymatic removal of ROS strongly increases rates of aerobic respiration, sulfate reduction and hydrogen accumulation. We conclude that ROS are formed in sediments, and subsequently moderate microbial mineralization process rates. Although sulfate reduction is completely inhibited in the oxic period, it resumes immediately upon anoxia. This study demonstrates the strong effects of ROS and transient oxygenation on the biogeochemistry of intertidal sediments.
