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

The extent to which local coral populations are self-sustaining through local recruitment has important implications for managing coral reef systems. However, a lack of understanding has led to overly simplistic representation of this phenomenon in coral reef population models. In this study, we simulate the dispersal of artificial larvae from 24 selected individual reefs across the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, over a spawning period in December 2016, to identify key physical factors influencing their retention. We found the dispersal pattern of larvae differed depending on whether they are well mixed throughout the water column and transported by depth-averaged velocity or floating near the surface, with well-mixed populations following more circuitous routes and dispersing more slowly.
