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

Cybutryne (irgarol) is a triazine biocide formerly used in antifouling paints worldwide and still detected in freshwater ecosystems in Europe, Asia, and North America despite its ban in antifouling paints in Europe in January 2017 and in the USA in April 2021. While primary producers are considered the most sensitive targets due to cybutryne's mode of action as a photosystem II inhibitor, data on freshwater invertebrates-particularly from standardized chronic tests-remain scarce. In this study, we investigated acute and chronic effects of cybutryne on three freshwater invertebrates representing major taxonomic phyla: the midge
