Responses of South Caspian coastal foraminifera to warming: spatial patterns and assemblage shifts.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated the spatial distribution of coastal foraminifera at four stations, identifying seven distinct species representing five genera and three families, with Ammonia beccarii caspica as the dominant species. The Bandar Gaz station exhibited the highest density, species richness, evenness, and Shannon diversity. Consequently, Bandar Gaz was selected for a controlled microcosm experiment examining benthic foraminiferal community responses to increased water temperature (24 °C, 27 °C, and 30 °C) over 60 days. While the highest total density and evenness were observed at 30 °C, the total number of species and Margalef and Shannon indices did not significantly differ among treatments. Temperature changes significantly altered community structure through shifts in species dominance. Ammonia species displayed resilience and increased dominance with higher temperatures, replacing other species. Elphidium advenum density decreased significantly at 30 °C, while Ammonia beccarri and Ammonia tepida increased in dominance with rising temperatures. These findings highlight temperature-driven alterations in foraminiferal assemblages, with implications for coastal ecosystem monitoring in the context of climate change.
