1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Microorganisms inhabiting hypersaline environments have received significant attention due to their ability to thrive under poly-extreme conditions, including high salinity, elevated temperatures and heavy metal stress. They are believed to possess biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that encode secondary metabolites as survival strategy and offer potential biotechnological applications. In this study, we mined BGCs in shotgun metagenomic sequences generated from Lake Afdera, a hypersaline lake in the Afar Depression, Ethiopia. The microbiome of Lake Afdera is predominantly bacterial, with
