First isolation of a methanotrophic
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Methanotrophs facilitate a key step in the global carbon cycle-oxidation of natural and anthropogenic methane-and comprehension of their physiology is critical in unraveling the ecology revolving around microbial methane sinks. Recent literature on aerobic methanotroph physiology focuses on two phyla ( IMPORTANCE: Methane is a significant contributor to climate change (27 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide), and the largest biological sink is methane-oxidizing bacteria: methanotrophs. Although such organisms are thought to be phylogenetically diverse, so far, physiological characterization has been limited to a few clades for which isolates have been captured. Here we successfully obtain the first aerobic methanotrophic isolate outside the phyla
