Globally distributed marine Gemmatimonadota have unique genomic potentials.
Article in Microbiome, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundGemmatimonadota bacteria are widely distributed in nature, but their metabolic potential and ecological roles in marine environments are poorly understood.
resultsHere, we obtained 495 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), and associated viruses, from coastal to deep-sea sediments around the world. We used this expanded genomic catalog to compare the protein composition and update the phylogeny of these bacteria. The marine Gemmatimonadota are phylogenetically different from those previously reported from terrestrial environments. Functional analyses of these genomes revealed these marine genotypes are capable of degradation of complex organic carbon, denitrification, sulfate reduction, and oxidizing sulfide and sulfite. Interestingly, there is widespread genetic potential for secondary metabolite biosynthesis across Gemmatimonadota, which may represent an unexplored source of novel natural products. Furthermore, viruses associated with Gemmatimonadota have the potential to "hijack" and manipulate host metabolism, including the assembly of the lipopolysaccharide in their hosts.
conclusionsThis expanded genomic diversity advances our understanding of these globally distributed bacteria across a variety of ecosystems and reveals genetic distinctions between those in terrestrial and marine communities. Video Abstract.
