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

Tropical thermal and mineral springs are ideal for studying microbial life in extreme environments, their microbial diversity, and functional profiles. In this study, we investigated the abundance and genomic diversity of the phylum Chloroflexota in microbial mats from 33 thermal and acidic springs across Costa Rica using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics. Our results demonstrated that pH and temperature are the main environmental drivers shaping the abundance and diversity of Chloroflexota. Acidic conditions favored the presence of Ktedonobacteria and the candidate division AD3, while thermal environments were dominated by unclassified Anaerolineae. From a subset of thermal springs, we reconstructed 72 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), many of which represent previously uncharacterized lineages. Comparative genomic analyses revealed two novel families and seven new genera within Anaerolineae and a distinct lineage within Tepidiformia. We proposed the following names:
