Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies.

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
Artificial ponds in agricultural landscapes may provide critical microhabitats for aquatic and semi-aquatic invertebrates, including pollinating flies that require water for larval development. To test this idea, we deployed eight artificial ponds, comparing water-only controls with ponds containing decomposed blackberry plant material, at four farm blocks within a commercial berry farm located in New South Wales, Australia. Ponds were inspected every 3-4 days to monitor pond taxa appearance alongside eristaline (Diptera: Syrphidae) fly oviposition, larval development and pupation. Over 43 days, we recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders; seven taxa were observed only 1-3 times during the 43-day trial and were not present in the final sampling period. In total, 33 taxa colonised the artificial ponds for the entire trial period including three eristaline flies (
