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
Today, the biodiversity of endolithic microbial colonisations are only partly understood. In this study, we used a combination of molecular community metabarcoding using the 16S rRNA gene, light microscopy, CT-scan analysis, and Raman spectroscopy to describe gypsum endolithic communities in 2 sites-southern Poland and northern Israel. The obtained results have shown that despite different geographical areas, climatic conditions, and also physical features of colonized gypsum outcrops, both of these sites have remarkably similar microbial and pigment compositions. Cyanobacteria dominate both of the gypsum habitats, followed by Chloroflexi and Pseudomonadota. Among cyanobacteria, Thermosynechococcaceae were more abundant in Israel while Chroococcidiopsidaceae in Poland. Interestingly, no Gloeobacteraceae sequences have been found in Poland, only in Israel. Some of the obtained 16S rRNA gene sequences of cyanobacteria matched previously detected sequences from endolithic communities in various substrates and geographical regions, supporting the hypothesis of global metacommunity, but more data are still needed. Using Raman spectroscopy, cyanobacterial UV-screening pigments-scytonemin and gloeocapsin have been detected alongside carotenoids, chlorophyll a and melanin. These pigments can serve as potential biomarkers for basic taxonomic identification of cyanobacteria. Overall, this study provides more insight into the diversity of cyanobacterial endolithic colonisations in gypsum across different areas.
