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

Temperate seaweed forests are among the most productive and widespread habitats in coastal waters. However, they are under threat from climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. To effectively conserve and manage these ecosystems under these rising pressures, an understanding of the genetic diversity and structure of habitat-forming seaweeds will be necessary. Australia's Great Southern Reef, a global hotspot of endemic diversity, is home to one of the world's most speciose habitat-forming seaweed genera, Cystophora (order Fucales). Despite severe declines in some species, genomic data on this genus remain limited. We used a reduced representation genomic approach (DaRTSeq) to investigate the genetic diversity and structure of Cystophora racemosa, a dominant canopy-forming species, across ~850 km of its range. Our sequencing captured 4741 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and we distinguished neutral loci from those under natural selection (i.e., outlier loci). We identified strong population structure and high genetic differentiation for both neutral (mean F
