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

Nitrification is an essential process within the global nitrogen cycle and also occurs under extreme conditions, such as in geothermal environments. The nitrite-oxidizing group Nitrospira represents key nitrifiers in these systems, as several species inhabit hot springs worldwide. Using different initial incubation temperatures, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments, Nitrospira sp. Vd2 and Ca. N. neuquenensis E2OT, were obtained from sulfur-rich mud pools in the geothermal field Las Máquinas (Neuquén Province, Argentina). Nitrospira sp. Vd2 belongs to the N. bockiana lineage V, whereas the second enrichment (E2OT) represents the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, together with cultures from Kamchatka (Kam-Ns4a) and Garga hot springs (Ga3a). The vibrioid morphology of Ca. N. neuquenensis E2OT is strikingly different from all described, twisted rod-shaped Nitrospira. Our study expands the knowledge of the taxonomic and genomic diversity of moderately thermophilic Nitrospira, by comparing the high-quality draft genomes with those of previously described species. The recent discovery of quorum-sensing genes outside the Nitrospira lineage II was confirmed for both Argentinian cultures. Notably, the genome GC contents of the enrichments Vd2 and E2OT are 60.6% and 69.4%, respectively. The latter is the highest observed for Nitrospira to date and might support thermotolerance up to 50°C.
