A dataset of thermal preferences for Mediterranean demersal and benthic macrofauna.
Article in Scientific data, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Climate change is swiftly reshaping marine ecosystems, affecting different biological levels. Changes in thermal conditions profoundly influence ectotherms' growth, behaviour, and functions, making knowledge of species' thermal preferences (TP) crucial for understanding their responses to ongoing warming. However, obtaining this data is challenging due to limited studies, especially for deep-sea demersal and bottom-dwelling species. Here, we present the MedFaunaTP dataset, a collection of survey-based TPs for 939 Mediterranean species of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, cnidarians, and tunicates calculated using species abundance data obtained from the international bottom-trawl survey in the Mediterranean (MEDITS) and bottom temperature data derived from the Copernicus Monitoring Environment Marine Service. MEDITS estimates are based on species biomass indices from 27587 sampling stations, collected from 1994 to 2020, covering the northern Mediterranean Sea and spanning depths from 10 to 800 m. The MedFaunaTP dataset may serves as a valuable resource for understanding and addressing marine ecosystem ecological, conservation, and management challenges in the context of climate change and associated global warming.
