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

Fatty acid profiling is a widely used tool in cetacean dietary and health assessments, yet most studies focus exclusively on blubber, overlooking the epidermis - the largest organ and primary barrier against environmental stressors - which remains largely uncharacterised, despite its accessibility for sampling of live and deceased animals. Here, we present a comparative analysis of fatty acid composition across the epidermis and the outer and inner blubber layer of long-finned pilot whales (
