Climate change will amplify the impacts of harmful microorganisms in aquatic ecosystems.
Review in Nature microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
More than 70% of the human population lives within five kilometres of a natural water feature. These aquatic ecosystems are heavily used for resource provision and recreation, and represent the interface between human populations and aquatic microbiomes, which can sometimes negatively impact human health. Diverse species of endemic aquatic microorganisms, including toxic microalgae and pathogenic bacteria, can be harmful to humans. Aquatic ecosystems are also subject to intrusions of allochthonous pathogenic microorganisms through pollution and runoff. Notably, environmental processes that amplify the abundance and impact of harmful aquatic microorganisms are occurring with increasing frequency owing to climate change. For instance, increases in water temperature stimulate outbreaks of pathogenic and toxic species, whereas more intense precipitation events escalate microbial contamination from stormwater discharge. In this Perspective we discuss the influence of aquatic microbiomes on the health and economies of human populations and examine how climate change is increasing these impacts.
