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

backgroundMethanotrophs are a key biological methane sink, and aerobic methanotrophs critically reduce wetland methane emissions under global climate change. However, despite their ecological significance, investigations on aerobic methanotrophs within seagrass ecosystems remain scant. In this study, microcosmic culture experiments were used to assess aerobic methane oxidation (AMO) potential and its drivers across a vertical gradient of seagrass sediments. Moreover, the methanotrophic community structure was characterized by amplicon sequencing, and the dominant methanotroph's metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) and metabolic pathway was investigated.

resultsSediments of Halophila ovalis exhibited notable vertical differences in both physicochemical properties and methane oxidation rates. Furthermore, ammonium nitrogen (NH
