The Elbe Estuary Microbiome Shifts With Salinity and Discharge and Depends on Fresh Organic Matter and Nutrient Availability.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 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
The Elbe Estuary (Germany) stretches 142 km from the weir in Geesthacht to the North Sea. It is classified as mesotidal, partially mixed and heavily impacted by anthropogenic activities and modifications. Despite well-documented changes in ecosystem status, little is known about the microbial community in its surface water. In this study, we used 16S rDNA sequencing to characterise bacterial communities in surface water of the Elbe Estuary. Samples were collected across three seasons (winter, spring, and summer) in 2021 and 2022, to assess the relationship between environmental factors and bacterial community structure. Our analyses revealed that bacterial community diversity and composition varied seasonally and along the estuary stretch and were closely linked to physicochemical properties. Alpha diversity was highest in winter and in oligohaline samples. Distance-based redundancy analysis showed that salinity, discharge, temperature, inorganic nitrogen (NO
