Data from: Meta-analysis reveals weak associations between fishes and corals

This study aims to evaluate the degree of association between fishes and coral by conducting a meta-analysis on peer-reviewed published literature extracted from two databases. We extracted 7863 articles from the two databases (Web of science and scopus), which after removing for duplicates, yielded 4653 unique articles. Articles were first screened for their title and abstract, and subsequently for their full text, both of which utilised a deliberate decision tree (provided in methods/supplemental). Within this decision tree, the inclusion criteria was formulated such that the final set of studies only contained original research articles that were 1) conducted on tropical, shallow (

本研究旨在通过对从两个数据库中提取的同行评议（peer-reviewed）已发表文献开展元分析（meta-analysis），评估鱼类与珊瑚的关联程度。我们从Web of Science与Scopus两个数据库中共计提取7863篇文献，经去重处理后得到4653篇独立文献。研究人员首先对文献的标题与摘要进行筛查，随后对全文开展二次筛查，两次筛查均采用了严谨的决策树流程（详见方法/补充材料）。在该决策树框架内，我们制定了明确的纳入标准，确保最终纳入的研究仅包含满足以下条件的原创研究论文：1）针对热带、浅海（
