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

China's Loess Plateau region has a weak ecological environment, and the government has invested a considerable amount of money to repair the ecological environment. Vegetation plays an important role in the ecological environment. The Sen slope analysis and the Mann-Kendall trend test were used to analyze the trend and significance of vegetation coverage from 2000 to 2015. The vegetation coverage was analyzed to investigate the influence of land use types and conversion. The Pearson Correlation Test and qualitative analysis were utilized at the pixel and regional scales to investigate the influence of meteorological factors and topographical factors. The fluctuation of vegetation in Shaanxi was analyzed from 2000 to 2015. The impact of anthropogenic activities was investigated using residual trend analysis. Hurst exponent and H/S analysis were applied to investigate the potential future vegetation coverage trend. The vegetation coverage in Shaanxi Province improved from 2000 to 2015. In unchanged land use types, all types showed significant improvements expect for other construction land. In changed land use types, most of the land use types converted into urban land showed degradation. All the land use types converted into dry land, forest, and unused land showed improvements. Ecological protection has achieved great results. Precipitation and temperature partly affect vegetation coverage in Shaanxi. Gradients and elevation affected the distribution of vegetation coverage and human activities influenced land use type and the ecological environment. In the future, potential degradation risks still exist in the parts of Shaanxi Province.
