Effects of oil palm monoculture and agricultural land use on shredder insects in Eastern Amazonian streams.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 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
Aquatic insects of the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) are vulnerable to changes in allochthonous inputs, mainly shredders, important to leaf litter decomposition and energy flow. This study evaluated the effects of land-use patterns (forest, pasture, oil palm, and mosaic) on the abundance, richness, biomass, and proportion of shredder EPT, as well as predictors of genus distribution. The study was conducted in northeast Pará, Brazil (2011-2017). One-way ANOVA and Redundancy Analysis (RDA) were used to test land-use effects and environmental influences on genus composition. Oil palm and forest streams presented greater abundances compared with the pasture streams. The forest treatment showed more shredder species than the pasture treatment. Biomass variability increased in pastures but decreased in oil palm areas, whereas forest streams did not differ from oil palm. The relative composition of shredders across land-use types followed similar patterns: the highest proportion was observed in forest streams, intermediate values in oil palm and mosaic, and the lowest in pasture. RDA explained 34% of the variation in genus composition, which was associated mainly with fine root cover and fast flow. Phylloicus, Anacroneuria, and Triplectides were negatively associated with fast flow. Triplectides responded positively to fine root cover, whereas Nectopsyche and Fittkaulus responded positively to fast flow. Anthropogenic alterations reduce shredder biomass and diversity, destabilizing aquatic communities. Forest conversion compromises the structure and function of Amazonian streams, reinforcing shredders as key indicators for long-term monitoring and conservation.
