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

Microbes inhabit virtually all river ecosystems, influencing energy flow and playing a key role in global sustainability and climate change. Yet, there is uncertainty about how various taxonomic groups respond to large-scale factors in river networks. We analysed microbial community richness and composition across six European Atlantic catchments using environmental DNA sequencing. Our findings reveal different drivers for diversity and composition: land use is pivotal for eukaryotes, while climate and geology are crucial for prokaryotes. A strong regional influence shapes these communities, with warmer, drier regions (Portugal and France) differing from cooler, wetter ones (Northern Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom). These patterns suggest potential indicators for global change, such as taxa resistant to temperature increases and water scarcity, or those sensitive to land use changes.
