Lineage-dependent partitioning of activities in chemoclines defines Woesearchaeota ecotypes in an extreme aquatic ecosystem.
Article in Microbiome, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDPANN archaea, including Woesearchaeota, encompass a large fraction of the archaeal diversity, yet their genomic diversity, lifestyle, and role in natural microbiomes remain elusive. With an archaeal assemblage naturally enriched in Woesearchaeota and steep vertical geochemical gradients, Lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte) provides an ideal model to decipher their in-situ activity and ecology.
resultsUsing genome-resolved metagenomics and phylogenomics, we identified highly diversified Woesearchaeota populations and defined novel halophilic clades. Depth distribution of these populations in the water column showed an unusual double peak of abundance, located at two distinct chemoclines that are hotspots of microbial diversity in the water column. Genome-centric metatranscriptomics confirmed this vertical distribution and revealed a fermentative activity, with acetate and lactate as end products, and active cell-to-cell processes, supporting strong interactions with other community members at chemoclines. Our results also revealed distinct Woesearchaeota ecotypes, with different transcriptional patterns, contrasted lifestyles, and ecological strategies, depending on environmental/host conditions.
conclusionsThis work provides novel insights into Woesearchaeota in situ activity and metabolism, revealing invariant, bimodal, and adaptative lifestyles among halophilic Woesearchaeota. This challenges our precepts of an invariable host-dependent metabolism for all the members of this taxa and revises our understanding of their contributions to ecosystem functioning and microbiome assemblage.
