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

As globalization progresses, the threat of invasive alien plants to ecosystems is becoming increasingly prominent, and the negative effects of these plants on human health and socioeconomics are gradually increasing with the development of cities; thus, concern about the problem of invasive alien plants in cities is gradually increasing. In this context, we analyzed the differences in the distribution characteristics of invasive alien plants in urban green space, countryside and farmland in Kunshan city, which is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, an area characterized by rapid urbanization. Additionally, the relations between local plant diversity and the intensity of human activities on invasive alien plants were explored. The following results were obtained: (1) There are 38 species of invasive plants in Kunshan, among which 9 species, such as
