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

(1) Background: Islands are relatively independent and fragile ecosystems with unique habitats. Studying the relatively stable semi-natural plant communities on islands can enrich island vegetation data and provide an understanding of the factors affecting species diversity and distribution. (2) Methods: The semi-natural plant communities on Langqi Island (LI) in Fujian Province were sampled, and the redundancy method was used to analyze the correlation between species diversity, community distribution, and environmental factors. (3) Results: (i) There were 432 species of vascular plants, with 306 genera and 110 families; (ii) the semi-natural plant communities consisted of three vegetation types, 10 formations, and 10 clusters; (iii) the species diversity indices of the semi-natural plant communities presented a trend of gradually decreasing along the shrub, tree, and herb layers. Different formations varied in terms of the species diversity index; and (iv) the soil total potassium and nitrogen contents significantly affected the species diversity of the LI semi-natural plant communities, whereas the pH, soil TN content, organic matter content, AK content, and altitude significantly affected the community distribution. (4) Conclusions: Selecting appropriate tree species for mixed forests based on plant characteristics and regional conditions, together with regulating the soil nutrient content, can improve the species diversity of semi-natural plant communities.
