ArticleData in brief2026
Surface sediments prokaryotic communities: five years of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from the northernmost part of the Mediterranean Sea.
Article in Data in brief, 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
Surface sediments harbour diverse prokaryotic communities that play a key role in biogeochemical cycling and provide valuable insights when compared with water column communities, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of marine ecosystem functioning. Specifically, this dataset presents prokaryotic community data from 16 surface sediment samples collected seasonally from June 2020 to May 2025 at the C1-LTER station (45°42'2.99″ N, 13°42'36.00″ E; DEIMS.iDhttps://deims.org/96969205-cfdf-41d8-979f-ff881ea8dc8b) in the Gulf of Trieste, located in the northeastern Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean Sea). Extracted DNA was sequenced following the 16S Metagenomic Sequencing Library Preparation protocol and run on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 System. Raw reads were filtered and denoised with DADA2, and taxonomic assignment was performed against the Silva 138.2 99% reference database. The dataset provides useful insights into prokaryotic communities and their seasonal variability over five years. Moreover, a focus on specific taxa is provided, such as Cyanobacteriota and Archaea, highlighting patterns of community variability in the sediment. Finally, it shows seasonal stability and generally consistent taxa distribution over time, as indicated by the high proportion of shared taxa at each taxonomic level. The raw data, deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject PRJNA1442017, include two sets of sequencing reads obtained from surface sediment samples using the Illumina MiSeq and Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platforms, for a total of 27 16S rRNA gene sequencing FASTQ files. Overall, these data provide valuable insight into the surface sediment community in the northernmost part of the Mediterranean Sea, contributing to long-term research on sediment prokaryotic communities.
