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

Since the mid-20th century, the global expansion of dam and reservoir construction has profoundly altered river ecosystems, with cascading effects on channel morphology, flow regimes, and freshwater biodiversity. Among these impacts, the disruption of natural flow variability remains a critical but under-analyzed factor, particularly regarding its influence on riparian waterbirds. To address this gap, we investigated the behavioral responses of the endangered Scaly-sided Merganser (
