Presence and role of viruses in anaerobic digestion of food waste under environmental variability.
Article in Microbiome, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe interaction among microorganisms in the anaerobic digestion of food waste (ADFW) reactors lead to the degradation of organics and the recycling of energy. Viruses are an important component of the microorganisms involved in ADFW, but are rarely investigated. Furthermore, little is known about how viruses affect methanogenesis.
resultsThousands of viral sequences were recovered from five full-scale ADFW reactors. Gene-sharing networks indicated that the ADFW samples contained substantial numbers of unexplored anaerobic-specific viruses. Moreover, the viral communities in five full-scale reactors exhibited both commonalities and heterogeneities. The lab-scale dynamic analysis of typical ADFW scenarios suggested that the viruses had similar kinetic characteristics to their prokaryotic hosts. By associating with putative hosts, a majority of the bacteria and archaea phyla were found to be infected by viruses. Viruses may influence prokaryotic ecological niches, and thus methanogenesis, by infecting key functional microorganisms, such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria (SAOB), and methanogens. Metabolic predictions for the viruses suggested that they may collaborate with hosts at key steps of sulfur and long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) metabolism and could be involved in typical methanogenesis pathways to participate in methane production.
conclusionsOur results expanded the diversity of viruses in ADFW systems and suggested two ways that viral manipulated ADFW biochemical processes. Video Abstract.
