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
Temperature influences the performance of marine ectotherms, and understanding species' thermal responses is key to predicting climate change impacts. This study investigated seasonal acclimatization effects on the thermal tolerance of the common periwinkle Littorina littorea. Snails were collected in winter and summer on the North Sea Island of Helgoland and exposed to gradually increasing temperatures (1.5 °C/h from the sampling temperature, 10-16 °C to 34 °C). Behavioral responses (antenna extension and movement onset) were assessed at target temperatures (10/16, 22, 25, 28, 31, and 34 °C), alongside cellular responses measured via activity of catalase (CAT), Hsp70 content and
