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

Natural ponds and constructed reservoirs (dugouts) provide essential water for agriculture, yet the effects of livestock disturbances on the freshwater microbial ecosystems remain underexplored. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was combined with water geochemistry analyses to examine the relative influence of livestock and geochemical variables on microbial communities in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the North American Great Plains. In undisturbed ponds, geochemical factors such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and sulfate (SO
