The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi-Omics: Multi-Omics Provides the Tools to Understand the Complex Molecular Basis of Coral Bleaching, Which Can Aid Conservation Efforts.
Review in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We review recent multi-omics analyses of the coral heat stress response to explore the generality of the Oxidative Theory of Coral Bleaching (OTCB), which posits that algal symbiont release is the final act of defense by the coral host to survive alga-derived oxidative stress. The OTCB is particularly relevant given that ocean warming, which is accelerating under climate change, has proven devastating for corals, leading to the bleaching phenotype and widespread reef loss. Multi-omics results, in combination with other data, such as genome-wide association studies, support the idea that coral bleaching is a multifactorial response that reflects a wide array of causes and effects and is population-specific under most conditions, with coral ploidy and genotype being critical to bleaching sensitivity. This perspective leverages the location, algal and prokaryotic microbiome, and host genotype-specific aspects of coral resilience to promote a new "personal genomics" approach to coral conservation, analogous to that used in human health.
