Methylphosphonate-driven methane formation and its link to primary production in the oligotrophic North Atlantic.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Methylphosphonate is an organic phosphorus compound used by microorganisms when phosphate, a key nutrient limiting growth in most marine surface waters, becomes unavailable. Microbial methylphosphonate use can result in the formation of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in oxic waters where methane production is traditionally unexpected. The extent and controlling factors of such aerobic methane formation remain underexplored. Here, we show high potential net rates of methylphosphonate-driven methane formation (median 0.4 nmol methane L
