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

The Tianshan Mountains serve as a critical freshwater reservoir in Central Asia's arid region, playing a key role in regional ecological and economic development. To assess the response of the Tianshan Mountains to climate change, this study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics and altitudinal differentiation of land cover using land use transition matrices and annual change rate analysis to assess vegetation shifts under climate variability in the Aksu section of the Tianshan Mountains based on 30-m resolution land cover datasets from 1985, 2005, and 2020 integrated with climate data trends. By focusing on a 35-year period, this research captures significant climate variability and its influence on vegetation and land cover transitions. Notable changes were recorded, with forest areas expanding by 320.5 km
