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

Extreme weather events are becoming more intense and frequent, driving unprecedented ecological changes globally. The effects of such extreme events can be particularly profound if they affect the performance of habitat-forming organisms (trees, corals, kelp). Further, the emergence of the "holobiont" concept in biology suggests that these impacts can occur directly on the habitat-forming "host" and/or via disruption of their associated microbiota. Following a one-in-100 year rainfall event along the coast of Sydney, Australia, we examined the effects of rainfall (in the field) and lowered salinity (in the lab) on the performance and reproductive output of a dominant, habitat-forming intertidal seaweed,
