Improving Large-Scale Population Estimates and Assessments of the Ecological Importance of Three Epifaunal Bivalve Species by Combining Distribution and Abundance Models.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Epifaunal bivalves include reef-building organisms that provide several important ecological functions in coastal marine environments. Evaluating the distributional patterns and population sizes is key in assessing the total and relative contribution of species toward these functions and can aid in improving spatial planning and management. In this paper, the use of species distribution and abundance models as a means to improve population size estimates compared to more simplistic methods (i.e., extrapolation of mean densities) was investigated. Gradient boosting models were fitted to predict occurrences and densities of three, both native and invasive, ecologically important bivalve species (blue mussel,
