The reduction of environmentally abundant iron oxides by the methanogen
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Microbial dissimilatory iron reduction is a fundamental respiratory process that began early in evolution and is performed in diverse habitats including aquatic anoxic sediments. In many of these sediments microbial iron reduction is not only observed in its classical upper zone, but also in the methane production zone, where low-reactive iron oxide minerals are present. Previous studies in aquatic sediments have shown the potential role of the archaeal methanogen Methanosarcinales in this reduction process, and their use of methanophenazines was suggested as an advantage in reducing iron over other iron-reducing bacteria. Here we tested the capability of the methanogenic archaeon
