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

Modeled modern and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate ranges for 47 genetically confirmed small Holarctic land snails documented profound landscape dynamism over the last 21,000 years. Following deglaciation, range areas tended to increase by 50% while isolating barrier widths were cut in half. At the same time, the nature of isolating barriers underwent profound change, with the North American continental ice sheet becoming as important in the LGM as the Atlantic Ocean is today in separating Nearctic and Palearctic faunas. Because appropriate modern climate occurs for these species throughout the Holarctic, with no clear barriers being present-especially for such efficient passive dispersers-the current >90% turnover observed between Eurasian and North American species pools appears at least in part related to the LGM landscape. Understanding current and predicting potential future biodiversity patterns thus requires consideration of the landscape template across at least 15,000 years time scales.
