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

With the development of new tools such as biological early warning systems, it becomes extremely important to test their reliability and detection capability. This work aimed at testing the sturdiness of a video tracking system by determining whether the detection capability does not deteriorate over time, after successive exposures of the zebrafish to three different toxicants, namely sodium hypochlorite, bisphenol A, and ethanol. Zebrafish were exposed to the three tested compounds separately (one fish, one toxicant) once a day, for 1 h and 30 m over 9 days, to 9 % of the 96 h LC50 of the respective toxicant. The behavior analysis was based on nine movement descriptor parameters of the fish, namely: angular velocity; linear velocity; spatial dispersion; linear acceleration; and angular acceleration. A statistical method was developed using self-organizing map (SOM), correspondence analysis, and linear and orthogonal multiple regression models. The results indicated that the system was able to successfully detect the three toxicants. With ethanol, the detection capability was maintained, but in the case of the sodium hypochlorite and bisphenol A, a deterioration of the detection capability occurred over the 9 days. This effect may be due to the induction of detoxification mechanisms and physiological acclimation, or due to the accumulation of adverse effects caused by the repeated exposure to the toxicants. Future works, especially those focusing on the application of similar early warning systems in real-world scenarios, should regularly exchange the sentinel organisms, to avoid degradation of the detection capability, as verified with two of the three tested compounds.
