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

Continental shelves are important areas for global biogeochemical cycling, yet the roles of sediment viruses in these areas remain poorly understood. Here, 48 surface sediment samples from the Chinese continental shelf were analyzed, and 12,540 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified. Taxonomic classification found that 93.6% of the vOTUs could not be assigned at the family level, and protein-sharing networks showed that 60.4% were singletons. Viral community structure was shaped primarily by temperature and water depth. A total of 557 auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) were identified, including those involved in sulfur reduction and phosphorus acquisition (Pho-family proteins). Additionally, diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were detected, suggesting anthropogenic influence. This study reveals the diversity, ecological function, and environmental drivers of viral communities in continental shelf sediments, providing new insights into viral contributions to microbial ecology and biogeochemical processes.
