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

ANAMMOX bacteria are a group of strictly anaerobic bacteria that offer a sustainable and energy-saving alternative to the conventional, energy-intensive aerobic bacteria-based fixed nitrogen removal technology from wastewater treatment plants. Since their discovery, research on ANAMMOX bacteria has expanded significantly, as reflected in the growing number of publications and patents. This review examines the evolutionary and physiological adaptations that have shaped these microorganisms, drawing from genomic and physiological studies. The distinct cellular architecture and membrane composition of ANAMMOX bacteria are discussed, alongside experimental literature that assesses their activity across various temperatures and pH conditions. Genomic analyses reveal significant differences between halophilic and non-halophilic ANAMMOX bacteria, with halophiles sharing a unique set of genes absent in other species. Analysis of proteomic investigations further demonstrates evolutionary divergence, with halophilic strains exhibiting a bias toward acidic amino acids, as shown through principal component analysis. Together, these insights provide a comprehensive view of ANAMMOX bacterial evolution, linking genomic diversity to physiological adaptation.
