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

Few studies have explored whether a reef's bioecological structure affects the presence of elasmobranchs. To examine if the structure of a reef's fish and coral community influences the likelihood of observing certain elasmobranch species, we deployed a remote underwater video station (RUVS) on four reefs in southern Mozambique. A single RUVS was deployed monthly on each reef for 12 months, resulting in 48 deployments and 140 h of video recordings. Images were extracted from the video recordings to estimate the relative abundance of teleost fish and following each camera deployment a 30 m
