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

Northern Australia is considered a 'lifeboat' region for globally threatened shark and ray species (elasmobranchs), although much of the region is understudied. The Roper River in the Northern Territory's Gulf of Carpentaria has been inadequately surveyed, with most elasmobranch data gained opportunistically through freshwater fish surveys. This study aimed to report the occurrence of elasmobranch species in the Roper River through targeted field surveys conducted between 2016 and 2024 and to review data from other sources. Four euryhaline species were recorded, comprising two sharks, a sawfish, and a stingray. Records of the globally Vulnerable speartooth shark (
