Timescales and drivers of chlorophyll variability in a subtropical, long residence time estuary (Baffin Bay, Texas, USA).
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Little is known about the role of short-term (hourly to daily) processes on estuarine phytoplankton dynamics, though these can be important timescales of physical-chemical variability in coastal systems. This study coupled high-frequency (daily; 2015-2016) and low frequency (monthly; 2014-2018) sampling to quantify timescales of chlorophyll variability and potential drivers of phytoplankton blooms in a subtropical, long residence time estuary (Baffin Bay, Texas, USA). The dominant timescale of chlorophyll variability in the system was sub-monthly, which accounted for ~ 37% of variability, followed by interannual at ~ 30% and seasonal at 21%. From bloom events identified in the high frequency dataset, wind was a predominant factor related to short-term (daily resolution) blooms, often positively correlated with chlorophyll concentrations. Results expand upon the currently limited knowledge of short-term chlorophyll variability in subtropical, long residence time estuaries. Additionally, findings also offer insight into design considerations for sampling programs in similar systems.
