Media's role in agenda-setting: Exploring media coverage of the German Baltic fishery discourse.
Article in Ambio, 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
In this paper, we explore how media covers and frames fishery issues. Focusing on the German Baltic fishery, we use methods from computational linguistics, political science, and fisheries science to analyze almost 1800 newspaper articles from 2009 to 2021. We document four key results. First, political events-rather than scientific policy advice-drive media reporting. Second, fishery representatives are mentioned more often than environmental non-governmental organizations (eNGOs) and with a much higher level of personalization and emotionalization. Third, reductions in European Union (EU) fishing quotas are followed by negative media sentiment, even though the status of the Baltic ecosystem would improve. Fourth, media portrayal of relevant stakeholder groups is consistent with the existence of two opposing coalitions: one emphasizing the socio-economic viability of the fishery and one advocating for the ecosystem's ecological health. Overall, we find evidence that newspapers tend to act as "advocates" of the fishers' interests and concerns.
