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

Twenty years ago, an archaeal lineage capable of catalyzing nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) was identified. This archaeal lineage was originally grouped within the ANME-2d cluster, and later renamed as the Methanoperedenaceae family. Since then, researchers worldwide have advanced our understanding of the biology of this archaeal group by describing its phylogenetic diversity, versatile metabolic functions, unique kinetic and physiological properties, special growing patterns, extracellular electron transfer capability, and extrachromosomal genetic elements. In addition, the potential engineering and industrial applications of Methanoperedenaceae have been explored broadly, employing granular and biofilm platforms for wastewater treatment and other purposes. In this Review, we reflect on the history of Methanoperedenaceae research, covering both the biology and the potential applications, summarize main achievements and challenges, and propose avenues for future research and applications.
