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

Comprehensive, global, and standardized data on ocean regulations are essential to assess protection levels. They are also key to successfully measuring progress towards 30 × 30 goals. ProtectedSeas' Navigator is a repository of regulatory and spatial data for over 21,700 unique marine managed areas globally, with summaries of restricted fishing and marine activities extracted from official regulations. Navigator allows data users at the global, national, or local level to (1) explore overlapping regulations, (2) visualize where and what human activities are regulated, and (3) use a Level of Fishing Protection (LFP) score and other indicators in analysis with other data sets. Navigator's LFP scoring system aligns well with other data sources and assessment methods, which seek to identify highly and fully protected areas. Navigator includes over 50 standard attributes per area and each area is cross-referenced to the applicable source documents and the World Database on Protected Areas, where appropriate.
