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

This study presents a comprehensive dataset from Lake Greifen, Switzerland, collected between April 2018 and June 2023, using high-frequency automated monitoring systems. The dataset integrates meteorological data, nutrient chemistry, water column profiles for water physics, and plankton underwater imaging, offering insights into the lake's physical and biological processes. A dual-magnification dark field underwater microscope captured hourly plankton dynamics at 3 m depth, providing size, shape, and taxonomic information. A profiler with a multiparametric probe monitored water temperature, oxygen, and other key parameters from 1 to 17 m depth, while weekly nutrient sampling complemented the measurements. Data processing involved rigorous cleaning protocols to remove technical artefacts, ensuring data quality. Our dataset showcases the utility of integrating different approaches for high-frequency monitoring to detect lake temporal processes, from phytoplankton blooms to zooplankton vertical migration and seasonal shifts in water column stability. This dataset provides a unique resource for studying limnology and plankton community ecology. All data and related processing codes are publicly available for further research, supporting interdisciplinary studies.
