Microbiome and Microbial Profiling of Arctic Snow Using Whole Genome Sequencing, Psychrophilic Culturing, and Novel Sampling Techniques.
Article in Journal of biomolecular techniques : JBT, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recent advances in massively parallel DNA sequencing have enabled researchers to study new areas of extreme environments. Of particular interest to many researchers are areas of the Arctic that have yet to be comprehensively examined using DNA techniques. These modern approaches to microbial profiling provide new critical data on systems biology not yet seen before from Arctic samples. The discovery of new microbes, microbial biochemical pathways, and biosynthetic gene clusters are critically important when characterizing the Arctic snow microbiome and can provide insights to discovering valuable biosynthetic gene clusters. In this study, 2 L of snow was collected from 15 sites 12 km east outside of Ilulissat, Greenland, using DNA-free sterile techniques. Snow was allowed to melt and immediately concentrated using the InnovaPrep CP sample concentrator. Whole genome DNA sequencing was performed on extracts using both Illumina and Nanopore sequencing as well as psychrophilic culturing. Individual cultures were also sequenced to determine whole genome content and species identity. The results showed a wide-ranging microbiome across the snow fields, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi, with
