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

Subalpine lakes are valuable resources that are at increasing environmental risk. Aquatic ecosystem models are useful tools for understanding dynamics of lakes, however, there are few examples of these models being applied to subalpine lakes, which may differ from temperate lakes in dimensions such as physical setting and ecology. Here we apply the aquatic ecosystem model AQUATOX to the Loch, a well-studied lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, USA, to assess the applicability of this model to a subalpine lake setting, and to identify modeling gaps. We found that AQUATOX could represent phytoplankton dynamics during the ice-off period. Attempting to calibrate the model during the ice-on period using the same structure and parameters as the ice-off period underestimated winter chlorophyll
