Environmental viromes reveal global virosphere of deep-sea sediment RNA viruses.
Article in Journal of advanced research, 2024. 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
introductionViruses are the most abundant and diverse life forms on the earth. Both DNA viruses and RNA viruses play important roles in marine ecosystems via regulating biogeochemical cycles.
objectivesHowever, the virome of marine RNA viruses has been rarely explored so far. In this study, therefore, the environmental viromes of deep-sea sediment RNA viruses were characterized on a global scale to reveal the global virosphere of deep-sea RNA viruses.
methodsThe viral particles were purified from each of 133 deep-sea sediment samples and then characterized based on metagenomes of RNA viruses.
resultsIn this study, we established the global virome dataset of deep-sea RNA viruses purified from 133 sediment samples that were collected from typical deep-sea ecosystems of three oceans. A total of 85,059 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified, of which only 1.72% were hitherto known, indicating that the deep-sea sediment is a repository of novel RNA viruses. These vOTUs were classified into 20 viral families, including prokaryotic (7.09%) and eukaryotic (65.81%) RNA viruses. Furthermore, 1,463 deep-sea RNA viruses with complete genomes were obtained. The differentiation of RNA viral communities was driven by the deep-sea ecosystems as opposed to geographical region. Specifically, the virus-encoded metabolic genes took great effects on the differentiation of RNA viral communities by mediating the energy metabolism in the deep-sea ecosystems.
conclusionsTherefore, our findings indicate that the deep sea is a vast reservoir of novel RNA viruses for the first time, and the differentiation of RNA viral communities is driven by the deep-sea ecosystems through energy metabolism.
