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

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can decrease lifespan and reduce fecundity in aquatic invertebrates. Organisms inhabiting shallow waters are often unable to avoid UVR damage. Bdelloid rotifers are known for their resistance to extreme environments and ionizing radiation. However, conflicting results have been reported regarding their response to UVR. We hypothesized that exposure to UVB radiation would negatively affect survival and other life history characteristics (i.e., lifespan, net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase) with increasing intensities and across multiple generations in bdelloids that inhabit shallow rock pools. To test these hypotheses, field-collected females (F
