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

Climate warming and human activities are modifying plant litter inputs in alpine grasslands, which is predicted to affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the effects of plant litter removal and warming as well as the combined impacts on the ecological functions of alpine grasslands are not well understood. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of experimental warming, litter removal, and their interaction on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) of alpine grasslands. Our results demonstrated a significant decrease in plant diversity (
