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

Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree species maire tawake (Syzygium maire) in Aotearoa New Zealand. We combined high-resolution hydrological modeling with integrated species distribution modeling of new and existing S. maire records to identify the extent of habitat in the capital city region available for conservation management. We mapped 2 myrtle rust infection risk scenarios throughout the region to identify areas of relatively low disease risk and used distance of S. maire habitat to the nearest road as a proxy for human accessibility to the area. We identified 1230 km
