Plot and landscape-level estimates of tree biomass and carbon stocks in Panama's mangrove Important Bird Areas.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
We present raw tree inventory data from 41 permanent plots in mangrove forests located in two Important Bird Areas along Panama's Pacific coast: the Bay of Parita and the Bay of Panama. The dataset provides measurements for estimating aboveground biomass and carbon stocks in living trees, following standard inventory guidelines. In addition, we present continuous maps for aboveground biomass and carbon density for the study areas. These data help address uncertainties in Panama's mangrove carbon stock estimates, currently ranging from 25 to 71 MtC, by providing ground-based measurements and landscape-level estimates. The measurements also enable validation of landscape-scale remote sensing approaches, such as NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), essential for regional carbon mapping. As Panama's primary carbon sink is the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry sector, and the country has included mangrove restoration in its Nationally Determined Contributions, this dataset contributes to national climate strategies. Furthermore, it can serve as a foundation for developing a regional carbon monitoring database for Central American and Caribbean countries currently conducting mangrove inventories.
