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

Storm Gudrun represents one of the most significant meteorological events in recent Swedish history, causing widespread forest destruction in southern Sweden. Now, 20 years after the storm, it is time to reflect on its impact on the forest sciences. We highlight key research themes that emerged in response to the storm, emphasising the critical role of research and monitoring infrastructure in facilitating the generation of valuable insights. We identified 18 articles focusing on storm Gudrun within forest-related research fields, which were, in turn, cited by over 600 subsequent studies. A citing network analysis resulted in eight research clusters, including, wind dynamics, carbon dynamics due to disturbances, spruce bark beetle responses, and storm damage in Sweden and Europe. Our review of primary literature underscores their dependence on established environmental monitoring and research infrastructure to provide essential background data. Maintaining these infrastructures is central to the advancement of forest-related sciences.
