Beta Diversity Patterns and Drivers of Macroinvertebrate Communities in Major Rivers of Ningxia, China.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The clarification of community assembly mechanisms in benthic macroinvertebrates and their respective contributions to the development of beta diversity is a fundamental concern in aquatic ecology. Nonetheless, the intrinsic complexity of community alterations and their non-linear reactions to gradients of explanatory variables present considerable obstacles to measuring the determinants of beta diversity. Fifty sampling points were set up along the major rivers of the Yellow River Irrigation Area (YRIA), the Central Arid Zone (CAZ), and the Southern Mountainous Area (SMA) in Ningxia in April, July, and October 2023. The findings demonstrate that the optimal parameter-based geographical detector (OPGD) model identified a 3000 m circular buffer as the spatial scale at which landscape structure most significantly influences water quality. A degradation in water quality presumably results in diminished differences in species composition among communities. The Sørensen index was determined to be more appropriate for this investigation, and the total beta diversity of the communities was relatively high (β
