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

Global climate change and human activities are significant threats to biodiversity, contributing to the endangerment of approximately 41% of amphibian species worldwide. In this study, we applied field survey methods, the MaxEnt model, and integrated climate and human activity data to predict potential changes in the diversity and distribution of amphibian species in Huangshan Mountain, China. In this study, we have found 23 amphibian species, belonging to two orders, eight families, and 18 genera. The MaxEnt models showed that the distance from farmland (contributing 26.2%), shrubs (15.6%), and waterbodies (10.6%), as well as the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) (10.1%), significantly influence species distribution and diversity, suggesting that amphibian species prefer habitats with lower levels of human disturbance. Our models also showed that Bio3 (isothermal) (8.9%) and Bio8 (mean temperature of wettest quarter) (8.6%) have a significant impact on the species distribution and diversity, suggesting that amphibians are influenced by temperature and humidity. Our field survey showed that seasonal variation in amphibian diversity revealed significant correlations between climatic factors. Specifically, amphibian species diversity was positively correlated with wind speed, soil moisture, and rainfall (
