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

Protecting aquatic ecosystems from pesticide pollution is a critical regulatory task. Benthic diatoms, being part of aquatic biofilms, are commonly used to indicate nutrient pollution. However, their potential as bioindicators for pesticides and other co-occurring environmental stressors remains poorly assessed. To address this, we conducted a flow-through chamber experiment designed to reflect realistic field exposure scenarios. We exposed biofilms to 44 treatments combining environmentally relevant pesticide mixtures including herbicides, fungicides, insecticides (44 levels of measured Toxic Units (TU
