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

Planktonic microbial and viral communities are fundamental drivers of biogeochemical cycling and energy flow in marine ecosystems. These communities display substantial variability in their composition at daily to sub-daily scales, which cannot be captured by conventional low-frequency monthly or weekly sampling. To reveal these high-resolution dynamics, we performed a time-series sampling of planktonic microbial and viral communities in the subtropical Daya Bay at 2-hour intervals over 3 days. Seawater samples were subjected to metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing for the cellular size fraction (>0.2 μm) and metagenomic sequencing for the viral size fraction (0.02-0.2 μm). This approach enabled us to capture fine-scale temporal variations in the genomic composition and transcriptional activities of microbial and viral communities. The resulting comprehensive dataset, including 700 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and 118,242 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), provides a valuable resource for investigating the metabolic potentials and dynamic interactions within natural planktonic microbial-viral assemblages in subtropical bay ecosystems, offering insights into their ecological roles that are inaccessible through low-temporal-resolution sampling.
