Deciphering the Hidden Ecology and Connectivity of Vibrio in the Oceans.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Long-range dispersals of marine bacteria in the oceans have remained largely indecipherable, which is particularly relevant for Vibrio, responsible for global epidemics in humans and animals. Here, we combine the analysis of 40 terabases of metagenomic data and satellite-tracked surface drifter data, from across the globe revealing that Vibrio are abundant members of the ocean surface and show a strong association with microplankton, which appears to govern their distribution and connectivity at a global scale. We identify long-distance biological corridors connecting Vibrio communities, including potentially pathogenic Vibrio. These corridors allow movement over thousands of kilometres in a fairly short time, with estimates of less than 1.5 years to cross an ocean basin. These findings have deep implications for the demography and community dynamics of Vibrio species and the epidemiology of associated diseases.
