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

Peatlands in southern Chile, particularly in the remote Aysén region, are unique ecosystems that remain understudied despite their ecological significance as natural laboratories. These near-pristine environments serve as essential water reservoirs and harbor largely unexplored microbial diversity. Testate amoebae, a group of shelled protists, play key roles in nutrient cycling and are highly sensitive to environmental changes, making them valuable bioindicators. However, the ecological drivers shaping their diversity and community composition in Chilean peatlands remain poorly understood. This study investigated the spatial distribution and diversity of testate amoebae across five peatlands in the Aysén region (44°S and 49°S; Southern Patagonia, Chile). We recorded 73 morphospecies, including typical southern taxa such as
