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

Metagenomic analysis of extreme environments is essential in biotechnological research. This work aimed to determine and compare the microbial diversity of two Peruvian saline environments and characterise their functional profiles. Soil metagenomic DNA (mDNA) was analysed from Maras and Pilluana salterns, both with a thalassohaline origin but with different geographical and environmental conditions. Maras samples exhibited more diversity and a remarkably higher abundance of archaea (phylum
