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

Temperature is known to affect organismal size, yet the underlying mechanism has been debated. Here, we develop a simple growth model of heterotrophic plankton and explain the temperature-size effect based on the demand and supply of oxygen. The model applies the growth rate-temperature relationship based on protein stability, capturing six data sets of a planktonic ciliate IMPORTANCE: The temperature-size relationship is a famous rule in physiological ecology based on common observations, but the mechanism underlying this rule has remained unclear. In this study, we develop a simple growth model of heterotrophic plankton, which explains the temperature-size relationship based on the demand and supply of oxygen. The model predicts temperature change will cause growth rate change; with higher growth rates, the increase of O
