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

Background: Niche partition and traits tradeoff theory were primary strategies for plants coexistence. However, specific strategies of plants remained to be verified to guide community configuration and biodiversity maintenance in ecological restoration. Methods: The variation of plants composition and niche breath were utilized to examine the temporal and spatial niche partition strategies, respectively. Meanwhile, the chi-square (χ Results: About 62.41% pairs of wetland species were niche partitioned while 37.58% of species pairs were niche overlapped. In temporal scale, 60.5% of species occurred either in spring or autumn while 39.5% occurred in both seasons. Meanwhile, significant change of relative height (RH) and relative coverage (RC) were observed in constructive species and auxiliary species. Height tradeoff strategy ( Discussion: Our finding testified that the temporal niche partition and traits tradeoff strategies are objectively observable in wetland plants. These findings on coexistence strategies can be used in the configuration of plants communities and the biological control of alien invasive plants.
