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

Three species of tropical and subtropical fish have been recorded for the first time in the bay of Dakhla, located in the Atlantic Sahara of Morocco. These species are the Atlantic bumper Chloroscombrus chrysurus, four-banded butterflyfish Chaetodon hoefleri and Guinean parrotfish Scarus hoefleri. Records come from active visual surveys, remote camera surveys and observations by a local fisherman. All species were identified from images and footage using analysis of morphological characteristics. These observations suggest the northward range expansion of these species along the coast, likely due to climate change.
