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

Ocean acidification can reduce the size of calcified structures produced by marine calcifiers, raising questions about their competitiveness and persistence in future oceans. Yet, size reduction in calcified structures may represent a plastic response to ocean acidification if these structures remain functional. To test this hypothesis and examine whether morphological plasticity can influence the functionality of calcified structures, we assessed the effects of ocean acidification on the morphological, mechanical and chemical properties of the calcified structures of a sea urchin species prevailing at natural CO
