In Situ Metabolic Rates of Alkane-Degrading Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria in Hydrocarbon Seep Sediments Revealed by Combining CARD-FISH, NanoSIMS, and Mathematical Modelling.
Article in Environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Marine hydrocarbon seeps are hotspots for sulphate reduction coupled to hydrocarbon oxidation. In situ metabolic rates of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) degrading hydrocarbons other than methane, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the environmental role of Desulfosarcinaceae clades SCA1, SCA2 for degradation of n-butane and clade LCA2 for n-dodecane. Quantification by CARD-FISH showed that SCA1 constituted up to 31%, SCA2 up to 9%, and LCA2 up to 6% of cells from the recently re-classified class Deltaproteobacteria across diverse hydrocarbon seeps. Cell-specific oxidation rates estimated by stable-isotope probing combined with NanoSIMS and modelling were ~0.73 and ~2.11 fmol butane cell
