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

Agricultural ponds are essential irrigation resources, though may also serve as reservoirs for pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. While monitoring microbiological water quality is critical for food safety, the influence of sampling factors (e.g., when and where to collect samples) in making risk assessments and potential applications for using environmental covariates as indicators remain unclear. Here, we explored the hypothesis that metagenomes of agricultural waters change with spatiotemporal shifts in physicochemical water quality, i.e., across water depths over time. Water samples and underlying sediments were collected at a model pond at the surface and within the water column (0, 1, 2 m depths) throughout one day (i.e., 9:00, 12:00, 15:00). All samples were processed for shotgun metagenomic sequencing analysis and enumeration of various water quality parameters (e.g., temperature, nutrient concentrations, turbidity, pH, culturable
