Phage Cocktail Designed for Wastewater Bioremediation Has Limited Effect on Crustacean Filtrator Microbiome Diversity and Health.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 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
In this study we investigated the impact of a phage cocktail on Daphnia magna microbiome and the life-history parameters. A mixture of four phages able to infect strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested on three D. magna clones. The host-associated microbiome composition in both the examined variants and the control was analysed using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Additionally, the survival, growth rate, age, size at the first reproduction, and neonate per female were assessed. The analysis revealed minor shifts in microbial composition following phage exposure. Nevertheless, results showed that the phage cocktail increased microbiome diversity. None of the life-history parameters studied were affected by the presence of the phage cocktail, and no adverse effects were observed. The results indicated that under laboratory conditions the phage cocktail is safe for D. magna and its microbiome.
