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

Traditional cultivation methods with defined growth media can only isolate and cultivate a small number of microbes. However, much higher microbial diversity has been detected by cultivation-independent tools from a range of natural ecosystems. These represent a large unexplored pool of potentially novel taxa. In this study, a diffusion-based integrative cultivation approach (DICA) was developed to efficiently isolate novel taxonomic candidates from marine sediment. DICA combined a newly designed diffusion-based apparatus called a "microbial aquarium" with modified low-nutrient media. To determine the efficiency of DICA, cultivation results were compared with traditional cultivation approach (TCA). Both cultivation approaches resulted in the isolation of numerous representatives from the phyla Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42995-024-00240-2.
