Potential for aerobic hydrocarbon oxidation in archaea.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in our understanding of anaerobic hydrocarbon oxidation in archaea. However, the ability to oxidise hydrocarbons aerobically has been described in bacteria but not yet in archaea. Here, we provide evidence supporting potential aerobic hydrocarbon oxidation ability in archaea belonging to a novel order within the class Syntropharchaeia, which we propose to name Candidatus 'Aerarchaeales'. This order is represented by six metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) spanning three genera that are found in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In particular, MAGs belonging to a newly defined genus, Ca. 'Aerovita', encode a copper monooxygenase complex with homology to bacterial hydrocarbon monooxygenases. The presence of genes encoding other oxygen-dependent enzymes, such as haem-copper oxygen reductase, indicates that Ca. 'Aerovita' may be capable of aerobic respiration. Our findings suggest that horizontal gene transfer between archaeal and bacterial domains facilitated the evolution of aerobic hydrocarbon-oxidizing archaea.
