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

Glacier surface habitats are dynamic ecosystems that respond to local climatic and thermal changes, although the assembly mechanisms of microbial communities in these environments remain unclear. This study examined microbial communities on the surface of Baishui Glacier No. 1 across the accumulation, the intense melt, and the late melt periods. The absolute abundance of Cyanobacteria increased significantly, becoming the most abundant phylum by the end of the melt period. Cyanobacteria were strongly associated with other local microorganisms, especially in community structure, community assembly, and co-occurrence networks. The correlations between Cyanobacteria and other microorganisms shifted from predominantly mutualistic interactions, to being predominantly competitive interactions, and finally to mutualistic interactions with a portion of the community. Additionally, Cyanobacteria abundance positively correlated with nitrogen metabolism multifunctionality in other microorganisms, indicating a potential link between Cyanobacteria and nitrogen cycling. These findings provide new insights into microbial community dynamics and survival strategies on glacier surfaces.
