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

Sustainable fisheries management requires an understanding of the links between environmental conditions and fish populations, especially in the context of climate change. From this perspective, identifying the phases in which ocean climate fluctuations and changes in ecosystem productivity coincide could provide a powerful tool to help inform fisheries management. Using more than 70 years of climate and fisheries data, we show that cyclical changes in the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) ecosystems productivity, from primary producers to piscivorous fish, coincide with changes in the regional ocean climate and the atmospheric settings of the northern hemisphere. This broad correspondence between climate and lower and higher trophic levels advances ideas for incorporating environmental knowledge into fisheries management on the NL shelves or in other regions facing similar dynamics.
