A new paradigm in modelling the evolution of a stand via the distribution of tree sizes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Our study focusses on investigating a modern modelling paradigm, a bivariate stochastic process, that allows us to link individual tree variables with growth and yield stand attributes. In this paper, our aim is to introduce the mathematics of mixed effect parameters in a bivariate stochastic differential equation and to describe how such a model can be used to aid our understanding of the bivariate height and diameter distribution in a stand using a large dataset provided by the Lithuanian National Forest Inventory (LNFI). We examine tree height and diameter evolution with a Vasicek-type bivariate stochastic differential equation and mixed effect parameters. It is focused on demonstrating how new developed bivariate conditional probability density functions allowed us to calculate the evolution, in the forward and backward directions, of the mean diameter, height, dominant height, assortments, stem volume of a stand and uncertainties in these attributes for a given stand age. We estimate the parameters by considering discrete samples of the diameter and height at a given age and by using an approximated maximum likelihood procedure. The model performance criteria for the height and diameter growth models include statistical indexes and an analysis of residuals.
