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

Climate-induced droughts exert a significant influence on the connectivity of river systems. It is estimated that about 25% of the world's rivers ran dry before reaching the ocean due to climate change and human activities. Ecological water replenishment is an effective measure for restoring aquatic ecosystems damaged by drought. It is urgently needed to quantitatively assess the aquatic ecosystems in rewetted dry river channels after water replenishment. This study investigated the variations in phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, and benthic bacterial communities in the rewetted dry river channel of Yongding River after water replenishment. In comparison with the water column communities, the benthic macroinvertebrates were identified as limiting factors for ecological restoration in rewetted dry river channels. In the absence of a certain recovery time for benthic macroinvertebrates, the benthic bacterial-based index of biological integrity, especially calculated based on their intrinsic properties, can properly assess aquatic ecosystems in rewetted dry river channels.
