Viromics approaches for the study of viral diversity and ecology in microbiomes.
Review in Nature reviews. Genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Viruses are found across all ecosystems and infect every type of organism on Earth. Traditional culture-based methods have proven insufficient to explore this viral diversity at scale, driving the development of viromics, the sequence-based analysis of uncultivated viruses. Viromics approaches have been particularly useful for studying viruses of microorganisms, which can act as crucial regulators of microbiomes across ecosystems. They have already revealed the broad geographic distribution of viral communities and are progressively uncovering the expansive genetic and functional diversity of the global virome. Moving forward, large-scale viral ecogenomics studies combined with new experimental and computational approaches to identify virus activity and host interactions will enable a more complete characterization of global viral diversity and its effects.
