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
FLOCponics systems combine biofloc-based aquaculture with nutrient recycling and are considered sustainable for intensive aquaculture. However, fungal community dynamics in these systems and their links to water quality remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined temporal changes in fungal communities in a FLOCponics system-based Japanese eel aquaculture by integrating metabarcoding with weekly water quality monitoring. Electrical conductivity (EC), nitrite, and pH displayed significant temporal variation, whereas other water quality parameters remained stable. Metabarcoding yielded 217 fungal operational taxonomic units across all samples. Alpha diversity indices exhibited no significant differences among weeks, indicating stable richness and evenness. In contrast, beta diversity analyses revealed consistent temporal shifts in fungal community composition with time exerting a significant effect after accounting for tank identity. Community changes were significantly EC-associated, with associations to nitrite and nitrate. Variation partitioning indicated that time and water quality primarily explained variation through their overlapping contribution rather than independent effects. Beta diversity decomposition revealed that temporal differences were driven primarily by species replacement rather than nestedness. Environmentally responsive taxa were mainly composed of Rozellomycota, with fewer Ascomycota, including
