The interconnected nature of multiple threats is impacting freshwater biodiversity.
Article in Biology letters, 2025. 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
Freshwater biodiversity is in crisis across the globe: the significant extraction, modification and pollution of freshwater resources puts these communities and systems at great risk. Here, using probabilistic network analysis and International Union for the Conservation of Nature threat data, we show that globally and across all taxonomic groups and geographical regions, threats to freshwater species are interconnected and do not occur in isolation. However, we also find that species in higher risk categories are more acutely threatened by single, dominant threats as compared with species at lower risk of global extinction. Determining when and which species are threatened by isolated threats or a suite of co-occurring threats provides crucial insights for the design of effective freshwater conservation strategies.
