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

Fitness tradeoffs between different environments enable the maintenance of microbial diversity. While the importance of tradeoffs is clear, it has been surprisingly difficult to predict which traits they will occur between and at how granular a level. For example, it is unclear whether performance between a constant versus pulsed exposure of the same stress tends to be positively correlated, independent of each other, or negatively correlated. Empirically, it has been shown that a critical feature structuring microbial communities is temperature. However, the compatibility between strategies to deal with different forms of heat stress is unclear. For instance, are strains that grow well at higher temperatures also stronger at withstanding heat shock? To understand how environmental microbes can adapt to better deal with heat stress, we performed an evolution experiment using a dominant phyllosphere microbe
