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
Forests represent the greatest carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems. Climate change drives the changes in forest vegetation growth, which in turn influences carbon sequestration capability. Exploring the dynamic response of forest vegetation to climate change is thus one of the most important scientific questions to be addressed in the precise monitoring of forest resources. This paper explores the relationship between climate factors and vegetation growth in typical forest ecosystems in China from 2007 to 2019 based on long-term meteorological monitoring data from six forest field stations in different subtropical ecological zones in China. The time-varying parameter vector autoregressive model (TVP-VAR) was used to analyze the temporal and spatial differences of the time-lag effects of climate factors, and the impact of climate change on vegetation was predicted. The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) was used to measure vegetation growth. Monthly meteorological observations and solar radiation data, including precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, and photosynthetic effective radiation, were provided by the resource sharing service platform of the national ecological research data center. It was revealed that the time-lag effect of climate factors on the EVI vanished after a half year, and the lag accumulation tended to be steady over time. The TVP-VAR model was found to be more suitable than the vector autoregressive model (VAR). The predicted EVI values using the TVP-VAR model were close to the true values with the root mean squares error (RMSE) < 0.05. On average, each site improved its prediction accuracy by 14.81%. Therefore, the TVP-VAR model can be used to analyze the relationship of climate factors and forest EVI as well as the time-lag effect of climate factors on vegetation growth in subtropical China. The results can be used to improve the predictability of the EVI for forests and to encourage the development of intensive forest management.
