The Effects of Suspended Sediments, Dye, and Their Variation on Fish Behavior.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
As human activities intensify, many freshwater environments are becoming darker. Suspended sediments released by human-mediated erosion and manufactured dyes discharged into waterways act as pollutants that alter the visual environment. These substances absorb and refract light, reducing visibility levels and potentially interfering with animal behaviors such as predator avoidance, foraging, and social organization. Predicting the effects of such visual pollutants in the environment is complicated by the temporal variability of pollutant levels due to factors such as rainfall and wastewater flow. Here, we compared how an exposure to stable versus fluctuating levels of suspended sediments and dye respectively altered the social, movement, and anxiety-like behaviors of captive zebrafish (
