A database of life history parameters for Pacific coral reef fish.
Article in Scientific data, 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
Length-weight parameters assist in the estimation of a fish's biomass based upon assessment of length, providing value to many scientific and management applications. Some fish species have many sets of parameters published, while those less commonly studied may have no available information, making it challenging to decide which values to use. To address this, we present a database of quality-controlled length-weight parameters for 1,308 Pacific coral reef fish species from 87 families. The species included are commonly observed in visual censuses of shallow (10 m depth) forereef habitats of the central Pacific. These data were collated from the literature, and were selected based on study sample size, representation of the species' total length range, and data confidence. The most speciose families, wrasses (Labridae) and damselfishes (Pomacentridae), were most common in our database, though a large proportion of these species remain data-poor. In total, this database serves as a valuable tool for the academic community as well as for partners and managers desiring to learn more about coral reef fish assemblages.
