Diversity, transfer potential, and transcriptional activity of virus-carried antibiotic resistance genes in global estuaries.

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
Estuaries, the transition zones between terrestrial and marine ecosystems, are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been considered as reservoirs and vectors of ARGs in various environments, the composition, transmission, and ecological drivers of virus-carried ARGs (vARGs) in estuarine ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we constructed a Global Estuarine Virome (GEV) dataset by recovering 136,443 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) from 534 worldwide estuarine metagenomes. Based on this GEV dataset, we identified 282 (temperate: 217; lytic: 65) vOTUs that carried 462 ARGs. These ARGs encompassed 108 ARG subtypes conferring resistance to 13 antibiotic classes, with their richness and abundances in estuaries being directly and indirectly correlated with changes in temperatures and coastal human activities. Network approach further revealed temperature-dependent vARG transfers between viruses and prokaryotes. Moreover, ARG-carrying vOTUs could target abundant prokaryotic taxa (e.g.,
