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

Global change is rapidly altering temperature and light regimes in marine environments, yet the physiological responses of benthic primary producers to these shifts remain poorly understood. Red (Phyllophora), brown (Cystoseira) and green (Flabellia) macroalgae dominate distinct assemblages in the Mediterranean Sea and act as ecosystem engineers that overgrow rocky substrates or seagrass meadows. Their taxon-specific physiological responses to changing temperature and light levels may have long-lasting consequences on algal community composition and overall ecosystem functioning, but remain poorly understood. Here, we experimentally test how water temperature and light availability affect photosynthesis and respiration in these macroalgae using specimens collected on Giglio Island, Italy. We exposed different macroalgae to a full-factorial combination of three temperatures (21, 26, and 30 °C) and light intensity levels (180, 320, and 760 µM photons m
