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

Airborne viruses are ubiquitous and play critical roles in maintaining ecosystem balance, however, they remain unexplored. Here, it is aimed to demonstrate that highly diverse airborne viromes carry out specific metabolic functions and use different transmission modes under different air quality conditions. A total of 263.5-Gb data are collected from 13 air samples for viral metagenomic analysis. After assembly and curation, a total of 12 484 viral contigs (1.5-184.2 kb) are assigned to 221 genus-level clades belonging to 47 families, 19 orders, and 15 classes. The composition of viral communities is influenced by weather conditions, with the main biomarker being Caudoviricetes. The most dominant viruses in these air samples belong to the dsDNA Caudoviricetes (54.0%) and ssDNA Repensiviricetes (31.2%) classes. Twelve novel candidate viruses are identified at the order/family/genus levels by alignment of complete genomes and core genes. Notably, Caudoviricetes are highly prevalent in cloudy and smoggy air, whereas Repensiviricetes are highly dominant in sunny and rainy air. Diverse auxiliary metabolic genes of airborne viruses are mainly involved in deoxynucleotide synthesis, implying their unique roles in atmosphere ecosystem. These findings deepen the understanding of the meteorological impacts on viral composition, transmission mode, and ecological roles in the air that we breathe.
