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

Increased drying of rivers under global climate change is leading to biodiversity loss. However, it is not clear whether biodiversity loss affects river functions. In this study, we investigated the changes in biofilm community diversity and functions in an artificial stream after different drying durations. A critical drying duration of around 60 days was found in the microbial composition and functions. Therefore, different drying durations can be divided into short-term drying (~0-20 days) and long-term drying (~60-130 days) to analyse the effect of biodiversity in terms of ecosystem functions. In summary, the dominant relationship of biodiversity on community stability got uncoupled after long-term drying. Community assembly became dominant in maintaining multifunctionality with increasing drying duration rather than biodiversity as traditionally perceived. This study reveals the importance of community assembly, extending theoretical knowledge of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality.
