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

Artificial reefs (ARs) are important for habitat restoration and exhibit clear spatial gradient effects. However, most studies focus on AR groups, neglecting the ecological functions and mechanisms of individual AR units at a local scale. This limits a deeper understanding and optimization of the ecological effects of ARs. This study employed high-throughput sequencing to examine the seasonal and spatial variations in sediment microbial communities surrounding AR units. The results showed that microbial community distributions in sediments varied significantly with seasons, reef distance, and reef structure. The community structure varied significantly across seasons at different reef distances, with the most unique structure observed at 3 m (1.5-times the reef height). In May, microbial community spatial changes were mainly driven by sediment organic matter (OM), while in November and February, although the spatial enrichment patterns of microbial groups changed seasonally, they were not strongly affected by functional types (aerobic or anaerobic). The Neutral Community Model (NCM) showed lower levels of R
