Contrasting associations between microbiota respiratory strategies and seafloor macrofauna.
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
Microbe-macrofauna associations are central to coastal benthic ecosystems, yet the microbial functions that underpin these remain poorly understood. To address functional microbe-macrofauna associations, we analyzed 245 seafloor samples from Norwegian and Icelandic coastal zones, encompassing 1204 macrofaunal taxa, 121 543 zero-radius operational taxonomic units, and 302 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). We first analyzed potential confounding factors and found that macrofauna showed the strongest association with a north-south geographic gradient, while overall there was a concordance for metadata associations. We found that macrofaunal assemblages were positively correlated with either a Bacteroidota-enriched cluster of MAGs ("BA";
