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

Large-water fisheries are central to China's freshwater aquaculture, but their sustainability is threatened by eutrophication from traditional high-density stocking. Polyculture of grass carp and crucian carp offers an ecologically sound alternative; nevertheless, its direct effects on plankton communities require further study. We conducted monthly sampling from July to December 2023 (over two seasons within a single aquaculture cycle) in polyculture ponds and used eDNA metabarcoding (18S V9) with high-throughput sequencing. We detected 288 planktonic taxa across 28 phyla and 290 genera based on eDNA sequence assignment. Alpha diversity (Chao1, Shannon, Simpson) peaked in autumn and was lowest in winter, with Chao1 showing greater seasonal variation. Beta diversity revealed season as the dominant factor (R
