Microbial genomic database of the Yangtze River, the third-longest river on Earth.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Microbes play an important role in mediating the nutrient cycling in the river ecosystem as a hotspot for biogeochemical processes. Due to scattered sampling efforts, however, there is a lack of a systematic study of the diversity of prokaryotic genomes in the Yangtze River, the third longest river on Earth. Here, we collected 602 metagenomic datasets of water, sediment and riparian soil samples spanning the Upper, Middle, and Lower basins of the Yangtze River over a 6,300 km continuum. We reconstructed 8,110 qualified genomes represented by 927 species-level genomes at the 95% ANI threshold, spanning 31 bacterial and five archaeal phyla. We further showed that more than half of these species (61.3% ~ 82.4%) were novel according to the genomic comparison against the curated databases, greatly expanding the known diversity of river prokaryotes. This dataset depicts an overview of microbial genomic diversity in the Yangtze River and provides a resource for in-depth investigation of metabolic potential, ecology, and evolution of riverine microbiomes.
