Progress in studies on the diversity and distribution of planktonic ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora) in the South China Sea.
Review in Marine life science & technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
As an important component of microzooplankton, ciliates play a key role in matter cycling and energy flow in marine planktonic ecosystems. Studies of planktonic ciliate have been extensive in the South China Sea (SCS) over the last 20 years. Here, we summarize the recent progress on the diversity and distribution of this group in the SCS. This includes that in: (1) the waters covering the intertidal zone of the northern SCS, most studies have focused on taxonomy, with 71 species collected, identified, and described (with ~ 40% new species); (2) neritic waters distribution patterns have been examined at a regional scale, with ciliates displaying significant spatial variations and seasonal dynamics; (3) in oceanic waters, there has been a focus on ciliate distribution in north, centre, and south regions, where mesoscale physical processes play roles in controlling distributions, and noticeable vertical variations occur. More generally, some studies examine the influences of environment variables on ciliates, and indicate that chlorophyll
