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

Trait and evolutionary differences among coexisting species are increasingly used to comprehend the processes shaping communities. However, they do not consistently yield congruent insights due to methodological limitations and scale dependence. Utilizing two plastid DNA genes (rbcL and matK) and one nuclear DNA gene (internal transcribed spacer, ITS), we first constructed the phylogenies of 147 woody species from 98 line transects in the forest areas of the Loess Plateau and subsequently measured three functional traits. Five plots (2500 m
