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
Phytoplankton communities are highly sensitive to environmental change and serve as key indicators of lake ecosystem health. In this study, four typical lakes in the middle Yangtze River (Xiandao, Bao'an, Wanghu, and Cihu Lake) were investigated through field monitoring to reveal the spatiotemporal patterns of phytoplankton communities and their driving environmental factors. Significant seasonal variation and spatial heterogeneity were observed. Although species composition varied, Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria, and Bacillariophyta were dominant in all lakes. In the eutrophic Bao'an, Cihu, and Wanghu lakes, Cyanobacteria dominated the annual average abundances. Based on Reynolds' functional group (FG) classification, 27 groups were identified. Dominant FG had seasonal successions. Canonical Correspondence and redundancy analyses indicated that water transparency, suspended solids, phosphate, and water temperature were the key environmental factors driving phytoplankton community succession. This study elucidated the response patterns of phytoplankton communities in lakes with varying nutrient levels to seasonal changes as well as the mechanisms underlying shifts in their growth strategies, thereby providing a theoretical framework for the ecological restoration of eutrophic lakes.
