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

Unionid mussels deposit growth rings (annuli) within the shell, which can be used to estimate age and growth. Thin-sectioning is a common technique for counting annuli, wherein a cross-section of a shell valve is taken and evaluated by multiple readers. Correctly identifying annuli can be challenging because ambiguous annuli can bias growth estimates. Staining with calcein, a fluorescent chemical, is a technique that has been used with marine and freshwater species to improve accuracy of growth estimates. This method chelates calcium, causing a permanent mark that fluoresces under ultraviolet light. Calcein has seen limited testing on unionid mussels so it remains unclear if this method has adverse effects on survival and growth. We evaluated calcein against 2 concentrations (125 mg L
