Network-Scale Patterns and Drivers of Microcystins in a Heavily Impacted Watershed.
Article in Ecosystems (New York, N.Y.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The most abundant and problematic of the cyanobacterial toxins, microcystins (MCs), degrade water quality, are lethal to livestock at high concentrations, and target the liver in humans. Most research has focused on lakes and reservoirs, while less is known about MCs in rivers, and few studies have integrated toxin threats across entire drainage networks. Here, we quantified landscape patterns of MCs and phytoplankton abundance in one of Canada's most heavily impacted watersheds. This catchment exhibits intensive agriculture and livestock production, with runoff controlled through a hydrologically modified network of regulated rivers, storage reservoirs, and a natural wetland used for slaughterhouse effluent treatment. While the headwater wetland complex exhibited greatly elevated concentrations of MCs (> 300 µg L Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10021-026-01059-x.
