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

Arctic char is a top predator in Arctic waters and is threatened by mercury pollution in the context of changing climate. Gill microbiota is directly exposed to environmental xenobiotics and play a central role in immunity and fitness. Surprisingly, there is a lack of literature studying the effect of mercury on gill microbiota. To fill this knowledge gap, our primary goal was to measure to what extent gill exposure to mercury may alter gill microbiota activity in Arctic char. Specifically, we calculated the correlation between the taxonomic distribution of gill-associated bacterial symbiont activity and total mercury concentration in livers and muscles in wild populations of Arctic char in the Canadian Arctic. Our results showed that total mercury concentrations in tissues were higher in Ekaluktutiak (Nunavut) than in the other sites in Nunavik. Proteobacteria was the main phylum correlated to mercury concentration in both tissues, followed by Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria. In the most contaminated sites,
