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

Sphagnum mosses regulate peatland carbon storage, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem functioning. However, the links among their surface chemistry, photosynthesis, responses to submersion and pH remain poorly understood. We quantified surface-chemical properties and biosorption potential in 20 field-collected species and four axenically cultivated conspecific clones. We measured gas exchange and Chl fluorescence in five representative species under submerged conditions across pH gradients. All Sphagnum species shared basic surface-chemical characteristics but differed in surface charge and abundance of reactive sites involved in proton and gas exchange, with generally higher biosorption potential in the Acutifolia and Sphagnum subgenera. Photosynthesis was maintained under waterlogging, although it varied among species and pH conditions. Reactive surface groups enhanced CO
