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
Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) have been attracting more attention lately as they are considered to be operationally versatile, capable of real-time communication, and can be fitted with various sensor payloads for environmental monitoring purposes. This study presents the design, development, and field validation of a sensor-enhanced ROUV platform tailored for environmental monitoring and aquaculture applications. The vehicle is equipped with a modular set of sensors for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and electrical conductivity (EC) along with separate signal-conditioning circuits for each sensor and real-time data acquisition from tethered architecture. The general system concept is modularity, reproducibility, and robustness in a marine environment. In situ measurements were performed at an active aquaculture site in the North Aegean Sea throughout several seasons during 2025. Using this system, depth-resolved measurements were obtained with sensor accuracies of ±0.1 °C (temperature), ±0.05 pH units, ±0.05 mg/L (dissolved oxygen), and ±2% (electrical conductivity). The following sections describe the development and aquaculture testing of the platform, which yielded stable and repeatable operation in real conditions.
