Acetate to caproate: metagenomic insights into functional shifts in a methane-arrested anaerobic bioreactor.
Article in FEMS microbes, 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
Methane-arrested anaerobic digestion (AAD) is a waste management strategy that produces carboxylic acid precursors to industrial products (fuels, bio-based polymers, and pharmaceuticals) from organic wastes. A major challenge preventing application of AAD is highly variable product profiles resulting from an inability to control the microbial communities underlying waste decomposition and product biosynthesis. Over time, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) often dominate AAD bioreactors and overproduce shorter chain acids causing acidosis. Here an AAD bioreactor where caproic acid production increased from an average of 3.9 g/l to an average of 12.3 g/l when the feedstock was switched from manure and paperboard to food waste. Time series shotgun metagenomics is used to investigate how microbial dynamics drive performance shifts. The dominant LAB shifted from
