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

Phytoplankton diversity and community characteristics are closely associated with aquatic environmental factors. Understanding these dynamics can provide insights into the ecological health of water bodies. We investigate the spatial and temporal characteristics of phytoplankton communities in 27 drinking water source reservoirs in Shenzhen, China. As a method, we collected samples during the dry season in 2021 and the wet season in 2022, analyzed the alpha and beta diversities of phytoplankton communities, and correlated these with the environmental factors. The results reveal that Cyanobacteria dominate the phytoplankton communities in the Shenzhen reservoirs. Phytoplankton diversity is greater during the dry season. The algal composition varies spatially, and the phytoplankton diversity tends to decrease with increasing eutrophication. A co-occurrence network analysis indicates denser and stronger correlations among phytoplankton nodes during the wet season than dry season. Reservoirs with moderate eutrophication levels exhibit denser nodes and stronger correlations compared to those with low or high eutrophication levels. The chemical oxygen demand, water temperature, pH, and total nitrogen are identified as key influencers of the phytoplankton community structure. Our results contribute to the enhanced understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton communities in reservoirs in South China and provides insights into the management and conservation of these drinking water reservoirs.
