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

Unlike microcystin, cylindrospermospin (CYN) concentrations in fishpond water and their accumulation in fish tissues have been largely unexplored. This study determined CYN levels in water and tilapia fish organs from three tropical fishponds in southern Egypt. Water and fish samples were collected monthly from fishponds for 12 months (Oct 2012 to Sep 2013). The results revealed that six CYN-producing species of cyanobacteria dominated phytoplankton populations and formed blooms in these fishponds during warm months. Among these species, Anabaena affinis, Planktothrix agardhii, Cylindrospermopsis catemaco, and C. philippinensis were assigned as CYN producers for the first time in the present study. The highest cell densities of CYN-producing species in fishponds were recorded in August and September 2013, correlating with high temperature, pH and nutrient concentrations. Dissolved CYN was found in fishpond waters at levels (0.3-2.76 μg L
