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

Faunal habitat selection, or the disproportionate use of available resources, is closely linked to habitat composition and configuration across a seascape. However, the drivers of habitat selection operate across multiple scales and require a hierarchical approach to study. This study combines acoustic telemetry, field survey data, remote sensing, and machine learning to investigate the multi-scale (seascape and patch) habitat selection of spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) in Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, USA. Spotted seatrout responded to both scales, as there were three patch-scale (Halodule cover, standard deviation of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) cover, and SAV species richness) and one seascape-scale (patch density) predictor in the top four. However, responses were scale-specific, exhibiting logistic responses to seascape-level variables and optimal (specific-range) responses to patch-level characteristics. This study highlights the importance of investigating habitat selection across multiple scales as climate change alters not only species ranges, but local seascapes as well.
