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

Motivated by the need to enhance the accuracy of forest aboveground carbon storage (ACS) assessments, this study aimed to explore the effectiveness of different machine learning models in predicting ACS across various subtropical forest types in southern China. The study was conducted in southern China, focusing on different types of subtropical forests. This region harbors several types of subtropical forests, which are rarely found at similar latitudes in the world. Variance inflation factor was employed to screen independent variables, resulting in the selection of 13 significant predictors. Four machine learning models-support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB)-were constructed to estimate carbon storage. Model performance was evaluated using root mean square error, coefficient of determination (
