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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
The Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) region is a highly variable region in the North Pacific Ocean, characterized by strong environmental gradients and multi-scale oceanographic processes. However, the fine-scale impact of these currents and associated water masses on microbial communities remains poorly understood. Here, high-resolution samples from 18 to 24 layers were collected along a transect in the KOE region in 2021, with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and environmental parameter measurements conducted to investigate the Kuroshio-Oyashio influence on microbial communities. Strong regional and vertical variations in environmental parameters and microbial communities were observed, with main horizontal regional differentiations confined to the upper 500 m. Photoautotrophic and oligotrophic taxa (e.g., SAR11 clade and
