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

Water beetles collected from Lake Tonga (North-East of Algeria), one of the best preserved and biodiverse coastal habitats in North Africa, have been studied and identifications of species reassessed, since most previous determinations published in Mahmoudi et al. (2023) were found to be incorrect. In this paper a revised species list is provided, with a small batch of previously unidentified material collected from a second biotope, Garaat Djamel, located 60 km west of Lake Tonga. A total of 42 species were identified, belonging to the families Gyrinidae, Haliplidae, Noteridae, Hygrobiidae, Dytiscidae, Dryopidae, Helophoridae, Hydrochidae, Hydrophilidae, and Hydraenidae, hosting approximately 13% of the Algerian aquatic beetle fauna, with the vast majority of this diversity concentrated in Lake Tonga, underscoring its status as a key hotspot of aquatic beetle biodiversity in the region. Five of the identified species are new records for Algeria: Helophoruscf.paraminutus Angus, 1986,
