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

Effective fisheries management and marine spatial planning depend on understanding how mobile predators link reef and oceanic ecosystems through cross-habitat movements and foraging. Predator resource use shapes movement and space-use strategies, providing insight into life history and behavioral variation, the identification of critical habitats, and spatial patterns of vulnerability to fishing and other human activities. Yet cross-habitat trophic connectivity remains poorly quantified in diverse coral reef and oceanic systems. Here, we used stable isotope (δ
