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

For migratory species, successful navigation is critical to fitness. In Atlantic salmon, for example, there is evidence that during migration from natal streams to the sea, passage through waters with poorly defined or mixed water velocity patterns may constrain directional navigation, causing individuals to become trapped or delayed in lakes or other bodies with slowly flowing water. In this study, we determined the minimum water velocities needed to elicit a behavioural response, in this case a change in the direction of holding position, in both wild origin and domesticated salmon smolts. Smolts required a directional flow in excess of 8.9 cm s
