Phytoplankton Under Pressure: Temperature, Precipitation and Cyanobacterial Blooms as Drivers of Chytrid Infections.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 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
The area of fungal parasitism is attracting growing attention because of its great importance for aquatic organisms and their community dynamics. Despite increasing interest in this area, few studies have addressed baseline data on occurrence and environmental factors associated with chytrid parasite infections in natural ecosystems. This work provides insights into occurrence, prevalence, and dynamics of parasitic infections by studying three freshwater reservoirs over a period of 6 years. Chytrid infections were detected in each of the studied water bodies, infecting species of cyanobacteria, green algae and diatoms. However, recurring and prevalent infections were observed in only one water body, which is classified as a natural aquatic ecosystem. The recorded infection prevalence (IPC) ranged between 0% and 20%, while the mean infection severity remained low. Infection rates were highest in summer and most prominent during cyanobacterial blooms. Yet, the most infected group of phytoplankton consisted of green algae. GLM revealed a significantly positive correlation between IPC and water temperature and precipitation. Overall, these results demonstrate the dynamic nature of chytrid infections, which are shaped by multiple environmental factors across space and time.
