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

The Sundarban mangroves form a unique and productive ecosystem, essential for biodiversity conservation and ecological health, yet the role of archaeal communities in rhizosphere and their resilience under environmental stress remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the archaeal community composition and functional potential in the rhizosphere soils of Avicennia officinalis and Ceriops decandra across Godkhali and Kalash, two ecologically distinct sites in the Indian Sundarban. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed dominance of Crenarchaeota, Bathyarchaeia, and unclassified archaeal taxa, while halophilic lineages showed no plant-specific enrichment. Alpha diversity indices indicated similar richness and evenness across mangrove plant species and sites. Beta diversity and multivariate analyses demonstrated that community composition was shaped more by environmental factors, especially pollutant levels, than by plant species. Notably, ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), including Nitrososphaera and Nitrosarchaeum, correlated positively with nitrogen concentrations, whereas methanogens and halophiles were associated with low oxygen and metal stress. DGGE profiling of archaeal amoA genes confirmed the widespread presence of AOA. Functional predictions via PICRUSt2 suggested enrichment of genes involved in metal resistance and hydrocarbon degradation. These findings highlight the adaptive role of archaeal communities in supporting rhizosphere resilience under environmental stress, contributing to ecosystem stability in the Sundarban.
