Warm current intensification altered phytoplankton communities in the Yellow Sea: insights from sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding.

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
Long-term changes in phytoplankton communities are key to understanding and predicting ecosystem responses to climate-driven circulation change. By analyzing sedimentary ancient DNA from two sediment cores in the Yellow Sea, we reconstructed mid-late Holocene phytoplankton dynamics during the intensification of the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC). We found that phytoplankton communities differed significantly between sites, with stronger spatial differentiation in eukaryotes than in cyanobacteria. Dinoflagellates and chlorophytes dominated overall, while Dictyochophyceae (silicoflagellates) were unexpectedly abundant relative to diatoms. Phylogenetic reconstruction recovered diverse Dictyochophyceae lineages (two orders, six genera) dominated by
