Differential trait responses of Phragmites australis to urbanisation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The littoral zones of shallow lakes are critical transitional habitats and emergent macrophytes, such as common reed (Phragmites australis), frequently dominate these margins. The potential effects of urbanisation on the common reed in the littoral zone of Lake Balaton were investigated. Elevated artificial night light levels were detected along the shoreline, reflecting extensive human activity, with littoral zones exhibiting significantly higher illumination than pelagic areas. No statistically significant correlations were observed between artificial night light and most vegetative parameters, while reproductive biomass and the proportion of flowering individuals were found to be significantly negatively correlated with it. Furthermore, a statistically significant positive correlation was identified between artificial night light and the timing of the start of the season, indicating a delayed initiation of seasonal growth in more urbanised sites. The findings reveal that urbanisation does not uniformly impair plant performance but acts as a complex environmental filter, shaping specific functional traits. Generative traits and the onset of seasonal growth appear more sensitive to urban pressures compared to vegetative growth, also emphasising the importance of integrating indicators for a more holistic assessment of urban impacts on aquatic vegetation.
