The encoded and expressed biosynthetic potential of Greenland Ice Sheet microbes.

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
Supraglacial habitats of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) harbor active microbial communities. Microbes produce a plethora of natural products, which hold great promise in biotechnology. Understudied environments such as the Greenland Ice Sheet are therefore of interest for the discovery of unknown biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that encode these compounds. Though many applications of these natural products have been identified, little is known about their ecological function for the producer itself. Some hints exist toward roles in competition and environmental adaptation, yet confirmation of the expression of these BGCs in the natural environment is often lacking. Here, we investigated the expression of BGCs in supraglacial habitats of the GrIS. Using total RNA sequencing, we conducted a seasonal study to analyze metatranscriptomes of ice and cryoconite habitats over a 21-day period during the ablation season. Genome mining on metagenomic contigs identified BGCs within ice and cryoconite metagenomes, after which the metatranscriptomes were mapped to them. Our study identified a majority of previously unknown BGCs, 59% of which are actively expressed
