A different world: temporal changes in the community structure of sea slugs (Heterobranchia) in northwest Japan spanning more than a half-century.
Article in PeerJ, 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
Understanding long-term changes in marine biodiversity is essential for evaluating effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems. In this study, we compared heterobranch sea slug (hereafter referred to simply as 'sea slugs') assemblages in northwestern Kyushu, Japan, across three survey periods: (1) historical records from 1960-1980, for which the exact survey effort and duration were not documented; (2) surveys conducted from April 2001 to September 2003; and (3) recent surveys conducted from June 2023 to January 2024. A total of 47 sea slug species were recorded from our underwater surveys conducted in 2023-2024. Species diversity indices, including the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (
