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

The intensive mariculture of S. aurata can promote aquaculture development, although it can also pose challenges because of predatory behavior and environmental stressors caused by intensification. The objective of this study is to alleviate stress and prevent cannibalism, thereby improving the fish's performance and welfare. A 90-day growth experiment investigated the dietary inclusion of melatonin (ML) on Sparus aurata performance, physiology, immunity, histopathology, and welfare when grown in saline groundwater (36 ppt) at stocking densities (SD) of 50 fish/500 L‒tank (SD
