Simulated microgravity confines and fragments the straw-based lignocellulose degrading microbial community.

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
Crewed long-term and long-distance missions are the undoubted trends of human space exploration, which require a bioregenerative life support system (BLSS) and its efficient treatment of the highly lignocellulosic organic solid waste under microgravity. Under normal gravity and simulated microgravity effect (mµ-g) created by clinostats, we used the inoculum from the world's longest BLSS experiment "Lunar Palace 365" to ferment and degrade wheat straw. The straw and its lignocellulose contents' weight losses were significantly slowed down by mµ-g. By high-throughput sequencing and metabolomics on the fermentation material, we found that mµ-g largely shrank and fragmented the microbial community's phylogenetic molecular ecological network (pMEN), and enriched many reported antimicrobial metabolites, especially against fungi, the principal lignocellulose degrader (e.g., cyclohexylamine, an antifungal chemical, increased by 188 times). Inspired by the solid-media visualization experiment of
