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

Microbial interactions are critical in shaping community assembly and ecosystem functioning, yet classical ecological frameworks such as Grime's Competitor-Stress Tolerator-Ruderal (C-S-R) model primarily emphasize individual traits, overlooking interspecies dependencies. Here, we propose an expansion of the C-S-R framework to incorporate microbial interactions, using methane-consuming communities in methane-fed microcosms as a model system. We present experimental data on both natural and synthetic methane-consuming communities derived from Lake Washington sediments, demonstrating that nitrate availability regulates community dynamics and life strategies. Under nitrogen limitation, the methanotroph
