Microbially driven methane and sulfur cycling processes and coupling mechanisms in mangrove sediments.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2026. 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
backgroundMethane (CH
resultsOur results showed that Methanomicrobiales and Methanophagales were predominant methanogens, Methanospirareceae was a representative of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME), and Desulfobacteraceae and Desulfobulbaceae were abundant sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), while Ectothiorhodospiraceae, Chromatiaceae and Comamonadaceae were dominant S-oxidizers. Correlation network analysis revealed positive interactions among methanogens, ANME and SRB. Also, metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) analysis indicated interspecies hydrogen transfer and extracellular electron exchange via conductive pili, flagella, and cytochromes were potential coupling mechanisms between methanogens and SRB. ANME could form consortia with SRB by intermediate metabolites (e.g., acetate) and/or direct interspecies electron transfer (e.g., flagella, pili, cytochromes). Furthermore, methanogen MAGs encoded thiosulfate oxidation and partial sulfate reduction pathways, while the ANME MAGs possessed potentials for S disproportionation and incomplete sulfate reduction. Additionally, SO
