Pesticide-Free Rice Paddies Promote Diverse and Distinct Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Cool-Temperate Agroecosystems.

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
Freshwater wetlands are rapidly declining due to the expansion of agriculture and urbanisation, resulting in significant biodiversity loss. In the Swiss lowlands, 90% of wetlands have been lost. Researchers and farmers are therefore jointly exploring the pesticide-free cultivation of paddy rice as a land-sharing approach that increases habitat availability for aquatic organisms. We studied the role of rice paddies for aquatic biodiversity by comparing key environmental variables and macroinvertebrate communities with those in nearby natural wetlands over a 2-year period. Rice paddies may provide a more uniform aquatic environment than natural wetlands. Accordingly, wetlands harboured a higher taxon richness at the regional scale, but at the local scale, macroinvertebrate density and richness were higher in rice paddies (1212 [95% CI: 714-2058] vs. 448 [263-761] ind./m
