A parasite-inclusive food web for the California rocky intertidal zone.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We present a highly resolved, species-rich food web, including parasitic interactions, for the California rocky intertidal zone. The food web, which is a meta-web inclusive of all rocky intertidal taxa in California, is comprised of 1994 nodes, representing 1901 taxa, and 15,485 links that illustrate trophic interactions between nodes. While only 4.4% of links represent parasitic interactions, we have assembled possibly the most speciose parasite-inclusive food web ever published. The inclusion of all nodes and links are justified using multiple lines of evidence which are built into the dataset. In addition, metadata, including trophic strategy, taxonomic information, habitat, and other ecological attributes allow the data user to filter the food web to their specifications. The food web is a powerful and flexible tool for researchers with questions about large network properties, ecological dynamics of rocky shores, and the role of parasites in ecosystems. Our food web can be used to predict how complex ecosystems like the California rocky intertidal will respond to anthropogenic change and management strategies.
