Bacterioplankton dynamics during winter freezing in a meltwater pond near Bratina Island, Antarctica.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. 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
The Bratina Island meltwater ponds, on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica, undergo an annual freeze thaw cycle that results in progressive, extreme changes to the physical and chemical environments of the ponds. Here, we present the first investigation of the microbial community changes during this period using 16S rRNA gene sequence data from across the water column of Legin Pond, a stratified meltwater pond, from four time points that span the autumnal freeze period (January to April 2008). We found that the microbial community changed with the onset of winter, although water column depth and conductivity were also important factors influencing the community composition. We discovered a dominant presence of ASVs from the poorly characterized archaeal phylum "
