Diversity and compositional differences of the airborne microbiome in a biophilic indoor environment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Biophilic design based on indoor planting plays an important role in human physical and mental well-being. To investigate and assess the effects of indoor planting on air quality, we sequenced 16S rRNA gene amplicons to compare the airborne bacterial microbiomes of three planting rooms before and after installing natural materials (plants, soil, water, etc.) with distinct biophilic attributes. Incorporation of indoor plantings significantly increased the taxonomic diversity of the airborne microbiome in each room, and we observed different microbiome compositions in each room. The proportional contribution of each bacterial source to the airborne microbiome in the indoor planting rooms was estimated by SourceTracker2. This analysis revealed that the proportion of airborne microbial sources (e.g., plants and soil) varied depending on the natural materials installed. Our results have important implications for indoor planting with biophilic design to control the indoor airborne microbiome.
