Shotgun Metagenomic Analysis of Microbial Community Dynamics in Wastewater Treatment Through Constructed Wetlands.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer a sustainable, nature-based solution to wastewater treatment, supporting diverse and dynamic microbial communities that drive nutrient cycling, pollutant degradation, and pathogen removal. This chapter presents an end-to-end methodology for performing shotgun metagenomic analyses on microbial populations from CW influent and effluent. We detail approaches for site selection, sample collection, filtration, DNA extraction, and the incorporation of positive and negative controls to ensure reproducibility and data quality. Two modular bioinformatic workflows encompassing quality control, assembly, taxonomic/functional annotation, and metagenome-assembled genome recovery are described alongside options for detecting antimicrobial resistance genes, pathogens, toxins, and plasmids. In addition, an example workflow for the calculation of alpha and beta diversity is provided. Guidelines for data standardization, replication, and compliance with community-driven reporting standards (MIMS, MIMAG) are also included. Incorporating this protocol will facilitate standardized, reproducible insights into CW microbial dynamics, thereby informing ecological understanding and guiding practical interventions that enhance wastewater treatment efficacy and improve public health outcomes.
