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

Mangroves represent a particularly vulnerable coastal ecosystem to the problem of marine litter. However, research addressing the impact of macroscopic litter on mangrove crabs remains limited. The aim of this study was to characterize diversity, abundance, and size of the semi-terrestrial crabs in a mangrove swamp heavily affected by macroscopic marine litter, in Southeastern Brazil. It was also aimed at verifying any potential correlations between crab parameters and the percentage of substrate covered by marine litter. Quadrats of 3.0 m × 3.0 m were used in three subzones of the intertidal zone (lower, middle, and transition-between upper intertidal and supralittoral). The litter was characterized after collection, and marine litter coverage was assessed using 1.0 m × 1.0 m photographs, which were analyzed using CPCe software. The fiddler crabs were analyzed by catch and release and the crab Ucides cordatus by examination and counting of burrows. The abundance of marine litter ranged from 69.6 to 120.3 items.m
