Temporal factors and habitats drive the variation of microbial distributions and co-occurrence patterns in the Pearl River Estuary.
Article in BMC microbiology, 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
backgroundEstuaries are dynamic and complicated aquatic ecosystems, where both abiotic and biotic factors heavily vary across seasons and among habitats. However, the distributions and co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in estuarine ecosystems are still little known. Here, the microeukaryotic and prokaryotic communities in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) in southern China across different sampling time and habitat types were investigated using amplicon sequencing.
resultsResults showed that both the distribution and co-occurrence patterns of microeukaryotes and prokaryotes were driven by sampling time and habitat types. The sampling time showed stronger impact on distribution patterns and co-occurrence patterns of microeukaryotes than those of prokaryotes, whereas habitat types showed stronger influence on prokaryotes than on microeukaryotes. Additionally, the deterministic processes played a more important role in structuring microeukaryotic community structures and networks than those of prokaryotic counterparts in PRE. And the species interactions of prokaryotic communities were more stable than those of microeukaryotic counterparts.
conclusionsOur study sheds light on the importance of sampling time and habitat types in maintaining microbial diversities, and showed that prokaryotes and microeukaryotes may have different strategies when responding to the environmental changes in estuarine ecosystems.
