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

Fire increasingly conflicts with the built environment. The wildland-urban interface (WUI) describes areas where vegetation near the built environment increases wildfire hazard. In the United States, attention concentrates on WUI in forested areas, but human populations are extending into rangelands. The combination of WUI expansion and woody plant encroachment might present novel challenges to wildfire management, especially given the rural nature of rangelands in the US, which extends the response time of emergency services. We use publicly available data to describe the abundance, distribution, type and overall wildfire risk in rural rangelands. Most of the WUI in the US Interior West (54%) occurs in rangeland: the majority of the US Interior West is rangeland and 4.3% of that-over 1 million km
