Interaction between environmental stressors mediated via the same sensory pathway.

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
The great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, is a calciphile, requiring approximately 20 mg/l dissolved calcium for natural populations to live long and prosper. However, despite population survival we have previously demonstrated that acute exposure for 1 week to low environmental calcium (20 mg/l) acts as a stressor on the snail, blocking long-term memory (LTM) formation. This response to calcium availability is mediated by the snail directly sensing the calcium concentration in its environment using a sensory structure called the osphradium. In addition to sensing the calcium environment, the osphradium also mediates the response to predator kairomones which has an opposite effect on memory i.e. kairomone exposure during training enhances LTM formation. Here we demonstrate how these two stressors (low calcium availability and predator kairomones), that alter memory formation in opposing directions via the same sensory system, interact when experienced simultaneously.
