Metatranscriptomics reveals protistan and viral metabolic reprogramming of sinking particle microbiomes in Oyashio waters.
Article in ISME communications, 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
Protists and viruses play a crucial role in the biological carbon pump by aggregating and degrading organic carbon. However, the identities of active lineages and their metabolic activities within sinking particles remain poorly characterized. Here, we examined the transcriptional dynamics of protists and viruses in sinking and suspended particles collected by a marine snow catcher in the Oyashio region. We found taxon-specific metabolic variations, with sinking particles showing high abundance of upregulated transcripts from ciliates, dinoflagellates, and viruses, while suspended particles exhibited those from haptophytes and chlorophytes. Diatoms exhibited species-specific responses to particle types:
