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

As coral reefs face increasingly frequent and severe disturbances, their condition relies more heavily on recovery dynamics. Understanding reef recovery is essential for assessing the long-term ecological integrity and functioning of these ecosystems. In this study, we used structure-from-motion photogrammetry to map reefs at Peros Banhos atoll (Chagos Archipelago) in the three years following the 2015-2016 mass coral bleaching event. This approach enabled us to detect and track individual post-bleaching coral recruits underpinning natural recovery ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00338-025-02732-8.
