Evaluation of biofilm assembly and microbial diversity on a freshwater, ferrous-hulled shipwreck.

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
Abandoned shipwrecks are sitting at the bottom of oceans, lakes, and rivers around the world. Over time, microbial-comprised biofilms can help protect wrecks against chemical corrosion or contribute to their deterioration through microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) by organisms including iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Assessing the community assembly of these biofilms will give us a better understanding of the role these microbes play in MIC and the factors that influence it. Here, we determine if microbial community composition differs across a shallow freshwater ferrous-hulled shipwreck environment. Results suggest that there was a statistically significant difference among the sample types indicating the wreck environments around IMPORTANCE: The overall structure, abundance, and diversity of microbial communities on shipwrecks have recently been studied in marine aquatic environments. While previous studies have looked at the microbial communities associated with shallow-water ferrous-hulled wrecks in marine environments, studies focusing on freshwater wreck systems are limited. The purpose of this study was to determine microbial community diversity and composition trends across the
