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

Deep-sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin. More than 99% of these vOTUs could not be assigned to known viral families and showed limited similarity to sequences in current global viral databases, indicating substantial novelty. Viral community composition and diversity were found to significantly vary with water depth. The vOTUs also encoded a diverse range of functional genes possibly related to their ability to survive in extreme deep-sea sediments, including genes involved in lipid metabolism, DNA modification, and immune evasion. The results show that deep-sea trench sediments contain highly distinct viral communities structured by depth-associated environmental variations.
