Tectonic settings influence the geochemical and microbial diversity of Peru hot springs.
Article in Communications earth & environment, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Tectonic processes control hot spring temperature and geochemistry, yet how this in turn shapes microbial community composition is poorly understood. Here, we present geochemical and 16 S rRNA gene sequencing data from 14 hot springs from contrasting styles of subduction along a convergent margin in the Peruvian Andes. We find that tectonic influence on hot spring temperature and geochemistry shapes microbial community composition. Hot springs in the flat-slab and back-arc regions of the subduction system had similar pH but differed in geochemistry and microbiology, with significant relationships between microbial community composition, geochemistry, and geologic setting. Flat-slab hot springs were chemically heterogeneous, had modest surface temperatures (up to 45 °C), and were dominated by members of the metabolically diverse phylum Proteobacteria. Whereas, back-arc hot springs were geochemically more homogenous, exhibited high concentrations of dissolved metals and gases, had higher surface temperatures (up to 81 °C), and host thermophilic archaeal and bacterial lineages.
