Host specificity and uniqueness of shell microbiome in freshwater mollusks.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Mollusk shells represent a major substrate for the colonization of microbial communities and the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. However, our knowledge of the shell microbiome is very limited. Methods: Here, we selected Results: We found different shell bacterial communities between snails and clams, which were also distinct from those in the surrounding environment. Source tracking analysis indicated that snail-shell bacteria were mostly derived from sediments, whereas clamshells originated from tissues. There was a site-specific difference in the shell bacteria within the habitat. Temporal variation in clamshell bacteria was observed, but not in snail shells, which corresponds to their source dynamics in the water column and stable surface sediment bacterial communities, respectively.
