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

Macroalgal-coral interactions (MCI) are an integral yet understudied component of coral reef ecology, particularly in healthy systems where they may represent stable coexistence rather than competition. This study provides the first comprehensive assessment of MCI diversity, abundance, and spatial patterns in the South West Lagoon of New Caledonia (SWLNC). Across 26 coral-dominated habitats, MCI accounted for an average of 16.4% of the benthic cover, with local values reaching 70% in high-interaction areas. A total of 43 unique macroalgal-coral genus pairings were documented, involving 16 macroalgal and 10 coral genera.
