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

Corals and sponges are considered foundational species and can create biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea, yet little is known of their competitive interactions, particularly with respect to resource partitioning among benthic fauna. Here we report on the feeding ecology of deep-water corals, sponges, ascidians, and anemones from a ~ 450 m deep submarine canyon wall off Nova Scotia, Canada. Analysis of bulk stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen confirms isotopic niche partitioning between species despite their physical proximity. Compound-specific nitrogen isotopes of amino acids (δ
