A climate-sensitive, contemporary multi-sphere bacterial metacommunity across the Tibetan Plateau.
Article in National science review, 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
The Tibetan Plateau hosts interacting atmospheric, glacier, river, lake, and soil ecosystems, yet the organization and climatic sensitivity of their bacterial communities remain unclear. Here, we compiled a 16S rRNA gene dataset of 3373 samples across five ecosystems and nine habitats. More than 55% of Operational Taxonomic Units occurred in at least two ecosystems, and ∼6% in all five, thus revealing a metacommunity in which aerosols seed glacier microbiomes, and glaciers act as sinks, filters, and relays, exporting microbes to rivers, lakes, and soils. Nevertheless, community uniqueness and core microbiomes demonstrate robust habitat filtering and distinct biogeographic fingerprints. Mean annual precipitation exerts more potent effects on richness and community uniqueness than temperature or solar radiation, but exerts opposite influences on bacterial beta diversity in glacier versus downstream ecosystems. These findings provide novel insights into microbial interconnectedness and climate sensitivity in the Tibetan Plateau.
