A decline in the energy content of forage fish in the Bay of Biscay.
Article in Journal of fish biology, 2025. 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
Planktonic production fuels the base of marine food webs and can mediate energy accumulation in consumers but is affected by several anthropogenic pressures. Our understanding of how shifts in prey quality at various trophic level shape marine food webs remains poor. This study explores variation in the nutritional quality of prey of hake Merluccius merluccius and whiting Merlangius merlangus between the 2000s and 2020s. An overall decrease in prey quality was observed between these periods. Prey species previously considered high quality no longer differed in nutritional composition from intermediate-quality prey species. These results suggest that a profound trophic reorganization is currently taking place in the Bay of Biscay, probably mediated through bottom-up processes.
