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

Marine litter is a multifaceted environmental issue requiring different data types for a better understanding of the problem. This paper presents a new dataset with approximately 6200 data records that compile different data types and sources focused on beach litter. We accessed beach litter data from in situ sampling, litter and beach wrack interaction, beach use, accommodation statistic focused on tourism, and meteo-oceanographic variables. A relational database framework was designed to facilitate data access, integration, and future use. Itamaracá Island, northeast Brazil, was used as Area of Interest, and all data was collected in the same time frame for the region, photos from the beach litter sampled items are also available in a data repository. The dataset demonstrated capability to manage diverse data types and sources, and it is an innovative approach for marine litter since it merges data from different sources, types and could give a holistic view about marine litter problem. This study emphasizes the importance of connecting different data sources for the same timeframe in environmental research.
