Global within-species phylogenetics of sewage microbes suggest that local adaptation shapes geographical bacterial clustering.

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
Most investigations of geographical within-species differences are limited to focusing on a single species. Here, we investigate global differences for multiple bacterial species using a dataset of 757 metagenomics sewage samples from 101 countries worldwide. The within-species variations were determined by performing genome reconstructions, and the analyses were expanded by gene focused approaches. Applying these methods, we recovered 3353 near complete (NC) metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) encompassing 1439 different MAG species and found that within-species genomic variation was in 36% of the investigated species (12/33) coherent with regional separation. Additionally, we found that variation of organelle genes correlated less with geography compared to metabolic and membrane genes, suggesting that the global differences of these species are caused by regional environmental selection rather than dissemination limitations. From the combination of the large and globally distributed dataset and in-depth analysis, we present a wide investigation of global within-species phylogeny of sewage bacteria. The global differences found here emphasize the need for worldwide data sets when making global conclusions.
