Are zooplankton useful indicators of ecological quality in Afrotropical ephemeral stream impacted by human activities?
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ephemeral river systems in Nigeria are under severe threat by increasing anthropogenic pollution. However, little is known about the ecological health of ephemeral rivers in Afrotropical regions, especially Nigeria. It is also unclear how zooplankton communities respond to anthropogenic stressors in ephemeral rivers in the African continent. In this study, we explored the responses of zooplankton to environmental indicators of human activities to assess the health of River Kafin Hausa, an ephemeral river system in north-western Nigeria. Our specific objectives were to explore the response patterns of zooplankton communities to anthropogenic pollution in the north-western ephemeral rivers and examine their potential use as reliable indicators for long-term monitoring of ephemeral systems impacted by different human activities. We collected zooplankton and physicochemical variables from three sites in five months, from January to February and April to June 2018. One-way ANOVA showed air temperature, water temperature, pH, salinity, BOD
