Diversity of antibiotic resistance genes increases in urbanized lakes: A multi-tool screening.
Article in iScience, 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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens to cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050 if no action is taken. Using shotgun sequencing, we examined the eco-evolutionary dynamics of AMR across urban-rural environment gradients in lake water and sediments, a farm pond and a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). ARGs were identified using multiple databases and five bioinformatic tools, detecting up to 18 ARG classes-more than any single tool alone. ARG diversity was higher in urban lake sediments, urban waters, and wastewater compared to rural lake sediments and water. Among all environments, urban lake water showed the highest overall ARG abundance, second only to wastewater, and this pattern held across all ARG classes, except for aminoglycoside resistance, which was most prevalent in rural lake sediments. These findings highlight multi-tool ARG screening efficiency, WWTPs and urban sediments as major ARG reservoirs, and emphasize the need for enhanced urban-rural AMR surveillance.
