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

The mangrove ecosystems are of great ecological importance found in tropical and subtropical coasts, including Malaysia. The microbial communities in the mangrove sediments play an indispensable role in maintaining homeostasis and supporting biodiversity. However, mangroves are facing various threats due to increasing anthropogenic activities. Thus, it is important to monitor the microbial community to improve our understanding of anthropogenic pressure on reshaping these ecosystems. This study examines the microbial community diversity in mangrove sediments of southern peninsular Malaysia. High-throughput MinION sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed to compare the soil microbiome diversity in 35 samples from 8 different mangroves representing Sungai Sedili Kecil and Sungai Sedili Besar that flow into the South China Sea; Sungai Pulai, Sungai Melayu, Sungai Danga, Sungai Skudai and Sungai Johor that join the Straits of Johor; and Pulau Kukup from the Straits of Malacca. The metagenomic classification performed with 16S rRNA showed 2,573 taxa comprising 32 phyla. Total abundance analysis showed
