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

Aerobic methane production from biological methylphosphonate degradation contributes to the observed supersaturation of oceanic methane in oxygenated surface waters. Atmospheric deposition is an important nutrient source and this process can affect nutrient ratios and biogeochemical cycle in the upper ocean. Here we present evidence that atmospheric nitrogen deposition modulates methane production by impacting microbial phosphorus acquisition. We found that methane production from methylphosphonate decomposition was enhanced (0.1-10.0 pmol L
