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

Trait-based approaches are increasingly used in ecology to understand biodiversity responses to environmental changes. However, information on diatom traits, particularly in temporary aquatic systems, remains limited. Here, we present DIATPOOL, the first database focused on diatom traits from disconnected pools. DIATPOOL includes 17 morphological, ecological, and physiological traits, derived from literature and expert knowledge, including size, shape, apical constriction, dispersal capacity, ecological guilds, colony formation, or habitat tolerance. The database also includes an initial inventory of diatom species, their relative abundances, and environmental characteristics of disconnected pools sampled across the Iberian Peninsula. DIATPOOL provides an open and standardized resource to explore diatom biodiversity and functional traits in temporary and intermittent aquatic systems, offering a valuable framework for ecological, taxonomic, and bioassessment studies in these transitional habitats.
