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

Metatranscriptome sequencing expanded the known diversity of the bacterial RNA virome, suggesting that additional riboviruses infecting bacterial hosts remain to be discovered. Here we employed double-stranded RNA sequencing to recover complete genome sequences of two ribovirus groups from acidic hot springs in Japan. One group, denoted hot spring riboviruses (HsRV), consists of viruses with distinct RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RdRPs) that seem to be intermediates between typical ribovirus RdRPs and viral reverse transcriptases. This group forms a distinct phylum, Artimaviricota, or even kingdom within the realm Riboviria. We identified viruses encoding HsRV-like RdRPs in marine water, river sediments and salt marshes, indicating that this group is widespread beyond extreme ecosystems. The second group, denoted hot spring partiti-like viruses (HsPV), forms a distinct branch within the family Partitiviridae. The genome architectures of HsRV and HsPV and their identification in bacteria-dominated habitats suggest that these viruses infect thermoacidophilic bacteria.
