Exploring Uncharted Waters: The Role of Artificial Aquatic Ecosystems in Freshwater Science.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Artificial aquatic ecosystems (AAEs) are human-made environments in managed landscapes that encompass a spectrum from straightened streams to newly constructed ponds. Research on AAEs is now expanding into diverse environmental science fields in response to ongoing pressures threatening freshwater ecosystems. Yet AAEs remain sidelined in the traditional study of freshwaters, limiting their recognition in catchment and atmospheric processes. We advocate for increased recognition of AAEs in freshwater science on four key points: (1) their ubiquity across human-impacted landscapes; (2) their contributions to biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem services; (3) as sources of insights to fundamental questions on pressures facing freshwater ecosystems; and (4) their lack of inclusion in policy. We call for a paradigm shift from viewing AAEs as low in the hierarchy of natural sciences to recognizing them as critical components of the modern hydroscape that offer opportunities for interdisciplinary research and improvement of water resources.
