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

Background: Diatoms are major primary producers known to respond rapidly to environmental change, making them useful indicators for ecological assessment and monitoring. In the Salish Sea bioregion, diatom records date back to early inventories by Lord (1866) and Bailey and MacKay (1916), followed by scattered surveys throughout the 20 New information: We report 924 diatom taxa for the Salish Sea from historical records, voucher specimens and molecular data, forming a curated dataset of 11,469 records. Forty-two species, including six previously unreported genera, are newly recorded for the region, based on combined morphological and molecular evidence. For these taxa, including the recently described
