The species distribution model based on the random forest algorithm reveals the distribution patterns of Neophocaena asiaeorientalis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The Species Distribution Model (SDM) provides a crucial foundation for the conservation of the Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP), a critically endangered freshwater cetacean endemic to China. In this study, we conducted population and habitat surveys, and employed the Random Forest algorithm (RF) to construct SDMs. We found that the habitat preference of YFP shows complex seasonality. Cyanobacteria and total phosphates have been identified as the predominant factors influencing the YFP distributions by affecting prey resources. We emphasize that ascertaining the presence and pseudo-absence points of YFP, in conjunction with the selection of key factors, constitutes the foundational element in the construction of SDMs. We suggest that the incorporation of techniques such as environmental DNA could expand the range of environmental factors, particularly with regard to the distribution of prey resources at the genus or species level. This study provides guidance for the SDMs of YFP and demonstrates the potential of machine learning algorithms in constructing SDMs for the endangered aquatic species.
