1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Phytotelmata are small, plant-held water pools that support unique assemblages of fauna and flora. Aquatic Diptera are a significant component of these microecosystems. Based on an exhaustive review of over 100 years of published literature, a global database of phytotelmata-associated aquatic Diptera with Bromeliaceae and Zingiberales (7 families) was compiled to explore diversity and ecology and identify gaps in the research. This database is designed to provide a valuable baseline and to serve as an objective, informed tool for future monitoring and research. A total of 4979 unique associations between aquatic Diptera larvae and 117 species in 26 genera of Bromeliaceae and 27 species in 10 genera across 6 families of Zingiberales were assembled in the database. These reported aquatic Diptera span 369 species, 80 genera, and 14 families, and include taxa with diverse ecological roles as detritivores, filter feeders, predators, and prey. Mosquitoes (Culicidae) had the greatest number of documented species (227), and non-biting midges (Chironomidae) had the greatest number of documented genera (26) in the dataset. Several mosquito vectors (e.g.,
