A hidden pattern? Common polyextremophilic microbial adaptations in Icy Moon analog environments.
Article in Frontiers in astronomy and space sciences, 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 search for life signatures beyond Earth is one of the main objectives of space exploration. Studies of analogous terrestrial ecosystems have shed light on the limits of life and on the adaptations of microbial communities to thrive in these extreme environments resembling Icy Moons. However, their findings tend to be compartmentalized, which hinders the drawing of broad conclusions about the drivers and challenges for life. This study aims to identify general characteristics of microbial communities inhabiting terrestrial analogs of Icy Moons, applying a novel meta-analysis on publicly available
