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

Freshwater salinization is an anthropogenic pollution issue that is receiving exponentially greater attention as we appreciate the global nature of the problem and the widespread lethal and sublethal impacts. A growing body of research is discovering that some freshwater taxa can evolve increased salt tolerance over generations, but such evolved tolerance often has tradeoffs in performance and fitness. We examined whether tadpoles collected from nine wood frog populations (
