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

Cladocerans are widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems and are sensitive to environmental changes; hence, they are commonly used to trace ecological changes in aquatic environments. However, the distribution of cladocerans in northern China is poorly known. We investigated the occurrence of cladocerans in 136 water bodies (including lakes and reservoirs), with varying hydro-chemical and climatic gradients, in northern China and western Mongolia. We identified 38 cladoceran taxa in the surface sediments of 88 different water bodies, while the remaining lakes, mainly saline, had no cladocerans. The spatial distribution characteristics of cladoceran species and the environmental factors determining their community composition were investigated using canonical correspondence analysis. The results demonstrate that water depth, trophic status, and water salinity were the top three variables influencing the composition of cladoceran taxa. Transfer functions between the surface sediment cladocerans and lake level and nutrient (NH
