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

Over half of the world's streams are non-perennial, drying at some point in space and time, but most research on stream-inhabiting fungi comes from perennial (continuously flowing) streams. To improve our understanding of fungal communities in non-perennial streams, we used ITS rDNA metabarcoding to survey fungal communities in three natural substrates (rock surfaces, decaying leaves, and sediments) across a surface water permanence gradient (determined via in-stream sensors) in a non-perennial prairie stream system in Kansas, USA. Fungal community composition varied along a continuum from wooded downstream reaches to increasingly open canopies (with grassy riparian vegetation) further upstream. Independently of position along this continuum, fungal community composition varied with annual surface water permanence. Communities on rock surfaces were the most sensitive to water impermanence, where rock-inhabiting freshwater lichens (
