Metagenome sequencing and 103 microbial genomes from ballast water and sediments.
Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The great threat of microbes carried by ballast water calls for figuring out the species composition of the ballast-tank microbial community, where the dark, cold, and anoxic tank environment might select special taxa. In this study, we reconstructed 103 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), including 102 bacteria and one archaea, from four vessels on international voyages. Of these MAGs, 60 were 'near complete' (completeness >90%), 34 were >80% complete, and nine were >75% complete. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that over 70% (n = 74) of these MAGs represented new taxa at different taxonomical levels, including one order, three families, 12 genera, and 58 species. The species composition of these MAGs was most consistent with the previous reports, with the most abundant phyla being Proteobacteria (n = 69), Bacteroidota (n = 17), and Actinobacteriota (n = 7). These draft genomes provided novel data on species diversity and function in the ballast-tank microbial community, which will facilitate ballast water and sediments management.
