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

The spatial distributions of host-associated (HA) microbes are shaped by the spatial processes of environmental selection and dispersal. However, unlike free-living organisms, HA microbes experience selection and dispersal at two separate spatial scales - the scale of the microbes and the scale of their hosts. Therefore, HA microbes must tolerate both the environment created by their host (microbe-scale environment) and the environment in which their host resides (host-scale environment). Likewise, HA microbes can disperse both between hosts through horizontal or vertical transmission (microbe-scale dispersal) and between locations through host movement (host-scale dispersal). In this paper, we examine how host- and microbe-scale spatial processes contribute to the spatial distribution of
