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 fish, interspecific interactions between nonnative and other sympatric species are considered determinants in shaping species assemblages. Such interactions can also arise between nonnative fish species only, including salmonids such as the brown trout (Salmo trutta, Linnaeus, 1758) and the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792), returning contrasting outcomes. The present manipulative experiment was aimed at exploring the effect of interspecific competition on the body growth and the oxidative status of parr (2 + -year-old individuals) of the brown trout and the rainbow trout. Allopatric (intraspecific competition) and sympatric (interspecific competition) populations of these species were experimentally recreated in two wild streams. At the end of a 2-month-long experiment, changes in specific growth rate (SGR), oxidative status (i.e., levels of reactive oxygen species and activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase - SOD, catalase - CAT and glutathione peroxidase - GPx) and oxidative damage (i.e., lipid peroxidation) were investigated in brown and rainbow trout individuals maintained in allopatric or sympatric populations. Sympatric interactions between rainbow and brown trout parr resulted in a significant decrease in SGR of brown trout individuals only. Moreover, an overall modulation of the oxidative status, in terms of an increase in ROS levels coupled with the activation of SOD and CAT activity, occurred in brown trout individuals under sympatric conditions. These findings might suggest that, under sympatric conditions, parr of the rainbow trout are more competitive than brown trout for food acquisition. However, this competition affected the antioxidant defenses of the brown trout only, probably because of reduced ingestion of dietary antioxidants or increased physical activity and aggressive behavior. Thus, interspecific interactions can induce physiological and phenotypic effects on parr of nonnative salmonids, with potential consequences on the establishment of populations of these species in freshwater ecosystems.
