Strategies for culturing active/dormant marine microbes.
Review in Marine life science & technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the ocean environment and they play key roles in marine ecosystem function and service. However, many of their functions and phenotypes remain unknown because indigenous marine bacteria are mostly difficult to culture. Although many novel techniques have brought previously uncultured microbes into laboratory culture, there are still many most-wanted or key players that need to be cultured from marine environments. This review discusses possible reasons for 'unculturable microbes' and categorizes uncultured bacteria into three groups: dominant active bacteria, rare active bacteria, and dormant bacteria. This review also summarizes advances in cultivation techniques for culturing each group of unculturable bacteria. Simulating the natural environment is an effective strategy for isolating dominant active bacteria, whereas culturomics and enrichment culture methods are proposed for isolating rare active bacteria. For dormant bacteria, resuscitation culture is an appropriate strategy. Furthermore, the review provides a list of the most-wanted bacteria and proposes potential strategies for culturing these bacteria in marine environments. The review provides new insight into the development of strategies for the cultivation of specific groups of uncultured bacteria and therefore paves the way for the detection of novel microbes and their functions in marine ecosystems.
