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
Pond-wetland-reservoir complexes serve as critical buffers in the pretreatment of micro-polluted source water, yet their spatiotemporal hydrochemical dynamics-and the ecological implications thereof-remain poorly quantified across functional units. This study characterizes the seasonal and diurnal variability of water temperature (WT), dissolved oxygen (DO), and electrical conductivity (EC) in a multi-stage source-water constructed wetland (Yanlong Lake, Yancheng, eastern China) by integrating seven published studies (2013-2019) with two high-density in situ spring monitoring campaigns (116 sites, 2023). Results suggest that high-temperature seasons amplify inter-unit thermal heterogeneity (maximum ΔWT up to 1.5°C), whereas the emergent vegetation zone appears to attenuate both seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations-exhibiting seasonal amplitude (DifMaxMin) below ~21°C, suggesting an indicative thermal-buffering threshold in this system. The wetland maintained a net oxygenation effect throughout the year, elevating yearly mean DO concentration and saturation by ~74% relative to source water, with the strongest enrichment occurring during winter and spring. Electrical conductivity showed a progressive upstream-to-downstream increase during spring, with littoral margins of the submerged and deep-water zones emerging as ionic accumulation hot spots. On the diurnal scale, the distributary channels of the emergent zone remained near-isothermal (~20°C-21°C) and relatively resistant to atmospheric forcing, whereas littoral zones behaved as temperature-sensitive hot spots with pronounced DO supersaturation and elevated EC. We introduce the concepts of "thermal-buffer zones" and "temperature-sensitive zones" to characterize wetland thermal heterogeneity and discuss the implications of the ~21°C threshold for biogeochemical processes and algal ecology. These findings advance understanding of eco-hydrochemical coupling in constructed wetlands and may inform climate-adaptive wetland design and source-water quality management.
