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

This study investigated the spatial distribution and occurrence of MPs in the surface water (n = 24) of three lakes (Nainital, Garudtal and Bhimtal) in the Kumaun region of the Central Himalaya, alongside the influence of land use and land cover (LULC) at the catchment scale. The selected lakes represent both pristine and urbanised environments. MPs were detected in all analysed samples, including those from the isolated and presumed pristine Garudtal Lake. The mean abundance of MPs (≥ 90 µm) was higher for the Nainital Lake with 813 ± 346 items m
