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

The attainment of ever more sustainable agricultural production and reconciling agriculture with conservation are the main challenges that human beings are confronted with head-on in the future. Through expanding and enhancing agroforestry homegardens at the agricultural landscape level, biodiversity can be increased and maintained while addressing several utility values, ensuring both ecological and socioeconomic sustainability. This study was conducted in agroforestry homegardens of southern and southwestern Ethiopia, to examine plant species richness and other diversity indices, plant use, and classify and identify different types of homegardens based on their species composition and abundance. In total, 93 homegarden owners participated in the study. Two hundred and six (mean 15.44 per homegarden) different plant species (excluding weeds) that belonged to 161 genera and 66 plant families were identified across the studied sites. Fifteen species (about 7.28% of all species recorded) are endemic and threatened to Ethiopia. The overall mean plant species richness per agroforestry homegardens, mean individual density and other diversity parameters varied strongly among sites (
