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

Complete ammonia oxidizers (Comammox) are of great significance for studying nitrification and expanding the understanding of the nitrogen cycle. Moreover, Comammox bacteria are also crucial in natural and engineered environments due to their role in wastewater treatment and maintaining the flux of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. However, only few studies are there regarding the Comammox bacteria and their role in ammonia and nitrite oxidation in the environment. This review mainly focuses on summarizing the genomes of Nitrospira in the NCBI database. Ecological distribution of Nitrospira was also reviewed and the influence of environmental parameters on genus Nitrospira in different environments has been summarized. Furthermore, the role of Nitrospira in carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and sulfur cycle were discussed, especially the comammox Nitrospira. In addition, the overviews of current research and development regarding comammox Nitrospira, were summarized along with the scope of future research. KEY POINTS: • Most of Comammox Nitrospira are widely distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but it has been studied less frequently in the extreme environments. • Comammox Nitrospira can be involved in different nitrogen transformation process, but rarely involved in nitrogen fixation. • The stable isotope and transcriptome techniques are important methods to study the metabolic function of comammox Nitrospira.
