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

Here, we present the first comprehensive dataset of functional traits for marine nematodes (MarNemaFunDiv). In this study, we propose 16 functional traits (life strategy, body shape, trophic group, oesophageal bulb, cuticle complexity, adhesive structures and ambulatory setae, head shape, amphid (shape and size), sensory structures (head and rest of the body), light sensing, male reproductive system (spicule, pre/postcloacal supplements and gubernaculum) and tail shape). Some of these traits were already used in marine ecology as functional categories (e.g. trophic groups, tail shapes, c-p classes) while others have never been considered before. These 16 traits were described and attributed to 86 nematode genera, representing the most abundant ones in shallow-water and deep-sea ecosystems. The matrix proposed in this study encompasses a comprehensive range of traits, enabling it to tackle a variety of ecological questions in the future.
