Shotgun metagenomic dataset of surface microbiomes at a train station in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
Article in BMC genomic data, 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
objectivesThe urban microbiome is a significantly underexplored ecosystem which contributes to the health and resilience of the human population and less is known about the microbiome of urban transportation systems that commuters interact with daily. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing data from swab samples were collected at a representative medium-scale urban commuter railway station in Tokyo, Japan, with daily passenger volumes on the order of tens of thousands, in October 2021. The dataset was generated as part of the nationwide "Urban Microbiomes in Japan" project and provides a resource for comparative analyses of urban microbial diversity and future public health surveillance studies in urban environments. DATA DESCRIPTION: Three surface swab samples were collected in October 2021 from concrete floor areas near ticket gates at a major railway station in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Samples were collected using Isohelix swabs with DNA/RNA Shield stabilization solution. Metagenomic DNA was extracted and subjected to shotgun sequencing, generating 2 × 150 bp paired-end reads.
