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

Genome sequences have become indispensable for objective and reliable bacterial taxonomy. The genus Pseudaestuariivita is a member of the family Roseobacteraceae. In this study, genome sequence analysis was employed to re-evaluate the taxonomic status of the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea. Genome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that Pseudaestuariivita species are polyphyletic. Specifically, the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea clustered phylogenetically with the type species of the genus Parasulfitobacter, Parasulfitobacter algicola, rather than with the type species of the genus Pseudaestuariivita, Pseudaestuariivita atlantica. Comparative analyses of average amino acid identity (AAI), percentage of conserved proteins (POCP), genome-wide average nucleotide identity (gANI), alignment fraction (AF), and phenotypic traits revealed a significantly higher degree of similarity between the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea and Parasulfitobacter algicola than between the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea and Pseudaestuariivita atlantica. The integrated evidence from genomic and phenotypic characterization leads to a formal proposal for the reclassification of the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea as Parasulfitobacter roseus comb. nov. This reclassification resolves the taxonomic ambiguity surrounding the species Pseudaestuariivita rosea, resulting in a more consistent classification within the family Roseobacteraceae.
