Oxygen respiration and polysaccharide degradation by a sulfate-reducing acidobacterium.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 20 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
Sulfate-reducing microorganisms represent a globally important link between the sulfur and carbon cycles. Recent metagenomic surveys expanded the diversity of microorganisms putatively involved in sulfate reduction underscoring our incomplete understanding of this functional guild. Here, we use genome-centric metatranscriptomics to study the energy metabolism of Acidobacteriota that carry genes for dissimilation of sulfur compounds in a long-term continuous culture running under alternating anoxic and oxic conditions. Differential gene expression analysis reveals the unique metabolic flexibility of a pectin-degrading acidobacterium to switch from sulfate to oxygen reduction when shifting from anoxic to oxic conditions. The combination of facultative anaerobiosis and polysaccharide degradation expands the metabolic versatility among sulfate-reducing microorganisms. Our results highlight that sulfate reduction and aerobic respiration are not mutually exclusive in the same organism, sulfate reducers can mineralize organic polymers, and anaerobic mineralization of complex organic matter is not necessarily a multi-step process involving different microbial guilds but can be bypassed by a single microbial species.
