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

Phytoplankton and zooplankton are critical basal resources in regulating aquatic material and energy fluxes. We investigated how environmental variables shape seasonal plankton abundance and diversity across nearshore zones in Eastern Guangdong, China. We identified 62 phytoplankton taxa (dominated by Bacillariophyceae at 88.52%) and 34 zooplankton species (dominated by calanoid copepods at 36.36%). Redundancy analysis (RDA) demonstrated that seasonal shifts in temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved nutrients (N, P, Si) significantly drive spatial community variability (Y ≥ 0.02). Dominant bioindicator species exhibited strong seasonal ties to environmental gradients; the diatom
