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

Terrestrial geothermal springs, reminiscent of early Earth conditions, host diverse and abundant populations of Archaea. In this study, we reconstructed 2,949 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 152 metagenomes collected over six years from 48 geothermal springs in Tengchong, China. Among these MAGs, 1,431 (49%) were classified as high-quality, while 1,518 (51%) were considered as medium-quality. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that these MAGs spanned 12 phyla, 27 classes, 67 orders, 147 families, 265 genera, and 475 species. Notably, 575 (19%) MAGs represented new taxa at various taxonomic levels, and 2,075 (70%) lacked nomenclature and effective descriptions. The most abundant phyla of archaeal genomes were Thermoproteota, Thermoplasmatota, and Micrarchaeota. The DRTY, ZMQ, and ZZQ geothermal springs were predominated by Archaea, particularly by Thermoproteia and Thermoplasmata. These draft genomes provide new data for studying species diversity and function within terrestrial geothermal spring archaeal communities, thus contributing to the conservation and utilization of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microbial resources.
