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
Aquatic ecosystems have their abiotic and biotic factors constantly altered by various factors. Among them, water temperature is an abiotic factor that can significantly affect fish physiology, increasing energy demand, which can impact homeostasis and survival. Endocrine and metabolic changes and enzymatic modulation are referred to as stress responses, which can lead to oxidative stress, generating negative physiological effects when temperature limits are exceeded. Oxidative stress biomarkers used in combination can highlight the effects of a stressful condition. Here, we seek to understand how the species Astyanax lacustris, which is native to Brazil and has ecological and economic importance, as well as remarkable research potential, responds to changes in water temperature. Thus, we evaluated the effects of high (31°C ± 1°C) and low (15°C ± 1°C) thermal stress on the antioxidant defense system in the heart and kidneys of A. lacustris. Specimens were collected from artificial lakes in União da Vitória (PR) and exposed to different temperatures for periods of 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, or 96 h, with a control group mantained at 23°C ± 1°C. The results indicated that in the heart exposed to 31°C, there was modulation in the biomarkers superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione (GSH), while at 15°C only GPx activity was altered. In the kidneys of fish exposed to 31°C, there was a change in the activity of the biomarkers catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and lipid peroxidation (LPO), while at 15°C there was modulation of the glutathione reductase (GR) biomarker and changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Responses to heat stress were organ-specific, influenced by temperature and exposure time. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated an association of glutathione-dependent biomarkers at high temperatures in the kidneys, while responses in the heart were similar across temperatures. Overall, A. lacustris exhibited distinct antioxidant responses in different tissues under thermal stress, with kidney response being more sensitive to heat, while cardiac responses were less variable across treatments.
