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

Viruses constitute the most diverse and abundant biological entities on Earth. However, our understanding of this tiniest life form in complex ecosystems remains limited. Here, we recover 20,102 viral OTUs from twelve intertidal zones along the Chinese coasts. Our analysis demonstrates high viral diversity and functional potential in intertidal zones, encoding important functional genes that can be potentially transferred to microbial hosts and mediate elemental biogeochemical cycles, especially carbon, phosphate and sulfur. Virus-host abundance dynamics vary among different microbial lineages. Viral community composition is closely associated with environmental conditions, including dissolved organic matter. Concordant biogeographic patterns are observed for viruses and microbes. Viral communities are generally habitat specific with low overlaps between intertidal and other habitats. Environmental factors and geographic distance dominate the compositional variation of intertidal viromes. Overall, these findings expand our understanding of intertidal viromes within an ecological framework, providing insights into the virus-host coevolutionary arms race.
