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

Hydraulically fractured shale reservoirs have facilitated studies of unexplored niches in the continental deep biosphere. In high-salinity North American shale systems, members of the genus IMPORTANCE: Hydraulically fractured shale oil reservoirs are ideal for studying extremophiles such as thermohalophiles. During hydraulic fracturing, reservoir production water is stored in surface ponds prior to reuse. Microorganisms in these systems therefore need to withstand various environmental changes such as the swing between warm downhole oil reservoir temperatures and cooler surface conditions. While most studies on hydraulically fractured oil reservoirs mimic the environmental conditions found in oil wells, this study follows this water cycle during fracking and the associated microbial metabolic potential during topside-produced water storage and subsurface oil reservoir conditions. Of particular interest are members of the genus
