The impact of nitrate on the groundwater assemblages of European unconsolidated aquifers is likely less severe than expected.

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 analyzed the structure of the stygobiotic copepod assemblages of an unconsolidated European aquifer (VO), in southern Italy, that has been subject to persistent nitrate contamination for over 15 years. To this end, we monitored 25 bores where groundwater was contaminated only by nitrate, and no other chemical pollutants were reported as being above detection limits from 2009 to 2014. We monitored these bores three times, namely in autumn 2014 and in spring and autumn 2015. We expected that the chronic exposure to high nitrate concentrations had a significant and evident impact on the stygobiotic copepod assemblages. Unexpectedly, the assemblages were highly diversified. The stygobiotic species richness (SSR) accounted 17 species, a value that exceeded the European mean value (SSR = 12 species). However, the species density was only 0.6 species/km
