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

Phytoplankton sinking represents a major component of oceanic biological carbon sequestration, commonly referred to as the biological carbon pump (BCP). Despite their small size and lack of mineral ballast, pico-sized cyanobacteria are transported to the deep ocean and contribute to carbon sequestration. However, the mechanisms governing their sinking remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated sinking eukaryotic and cyanobacterial communities and their DNA-based fluxes in zooplankton fecal pellets and non-fecal particles using metabarcoding and qPCR analyses targeting the 16S and 18S rRNA genes.
