Ecological features of microbial community linked to stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in acid mine drainage.

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
Ecological processes greatly shape microbial community assembly, but the driving factors remain unclear. Here, we compiled a metagenomic data set of microbial communities from global acid mine drainage (AMD) and explored the ecological features of microbial community linked to stochastic and deterministic processes from the perspective of species niche position, interaction patterns, gene functions, and viral infection. Our results showed that dispersal limitation (DL) (48.5%~93.5%) dominated the assembly of phylogenetic bin in AMD microbial community, followed by homogeneous selection (HoS) (3.1%~39.2%), heterogeneous selection (HeS) (1.4%~22.2%), and drift (DR) (0.2%~2.7%). The dominant process of dispersal limitation was significantly influenced by niche position in temperature ( IMPORTANCE: Unraveling the forces driving community assemblage is a core issue in microbial ecology, but how ecological constraints impose stochasticity and determinism remains unknown. This study presents a comprehensive investigation to uncover the association of ecological processes with species niche position, interaction patterns, microbial metabolisms, and viral infections, which provides novel insights into community assembly in extreme environments.
