Temporal dynamics, microdiversity, and ecological functions of viral communities during cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms pose severe threats to aquatic ecosystems. Bloom-forming cyanobacteria form cyanobacterial aggregates (CAs) that create a phycosphere supporting diverse microbial interactions. Here, longitudinal metagenomics and metatranscriptomics were employed to explore the temporal variation of CA-attached viral communities throughout cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu. Viral communities, represented by 5613 viral operational taxonomic units, showed increased relative abundance (RPKM) with the expansion of bloom areas. Among 1791 virus‒host linkages, host shifts followed the succession of two dominant cyanobacterial genera, Microcystis and Dolichospermum. Viruses demonstrated high virus‒host abundance ratios within all host genera and showed elevated transcriptional activities infecting Dolichospermum during the late bloom stage. Viruses featured high microdiversity and positively selected replication-associated genes in response to abundant host genera and variable trophic status. This study uncovered diverse active viral auxiliary metabolism associated with photosynthesis, biochemical cycling, and DNA biosynthesis, and highlighted the significant role of phycosphere-associated viruses during cyanobacterial blooms.
