A field-based model of the relationship between extirpation of salt-intolerant benthic invertebrates and background conductivity.
Article in The Science of the total environment, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Field-collected measures of dissolved salts and occurrences of aquatic invertebrates have been used to develop protective levels. However, sufficiently large field data sets of exposures and biota are often not available. Therefore, a model was developed to predict the exposure extirpating 5% of benthic invertebrate genera using only measures of specific conductivity (SC) as the independent variable. The model is based on 3 assumptions: (1) a genus will rarely occur where the background exceeds its upper physiological limit; (2) the lowest possible tolerance limit of a genus in a region is defined by the natural background; and (3) as a result, there will be a regular association between natural background SC and the SC at which salt-intolerant genera are present. Three steps were used to develop the model. First, background SC was characterized as the 25th centile of sampled sites for each of 24 areas in the United States with streams dominated by bicarbonate and sulfate ions. Second, the extirpation concentration (XC
