Mechanism of Ammonia-Induced Brain Damage in Chinese Striped-Necked Turtle (Mauremys sinensis).
Article in Integrative zoology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Social advancement and heightened waste discharge have resulted in escalating ammonia pollution in aquatic ecosystems, presenting toxicity hazards to aquatic fauna, especially turtles, by impairing their neurological function. To assess the ammonia effect on turtle brains, we subjected Chinese striped-necked turtles (Mauremys sinensis) to varying ammonia concentrations (CK, control; A1, 0.790 mg/L NH3; A2, 1.418 mg/L NH3) for durations of 24 and 48 h. Our data indicate that ammonia exposure markedly elevated glutamate levels and glutamate receptor mRNA expression in turtle brains, while concurrently diminishing glutamate transporter expression. These alterations resulted in an increase in brain water content, Na
