Dinosaur track assemblages from mid-Cretaceous of Fujian Province, southeastern China: ichnotaxonomic review and faunal comparison.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Among the the mid-Cretaceous strata in China, considerable dinosaur record are preserved in the southeastern mountainous and arc-related basins. The Shanghang Basin is one of the sporadic red-stratified basins distributed in western Fujian, SE China, and has previously been discovered as the home of an ornithopod-dominaited ichnofauna, which is also characterized by the large troodontid ichnogenera Fujianipus. Include the newly discovered fossils, further confirming that this tracksite is dominated by ornithopods, characterized by a significant proportion (>27%) of large ornithopods, with deinonychosaurians as the possible apex predators. As the only extensive mid-Cretaceous dinosaur tracksite in southeastern China, Longxing offers a temporal comparison with skeletal records from Zhejiang (SE China) and other fauna globally. The Longxiang herbivorous assemblage may suggesting limited faunal turnover by aligning more closely with pre-Cenomanian than the contemporaneous faunas in Zhejiang. Besides, unlike South American patterns associated with OAE2, the faunal shifts of SE China are relatively mild and appear more influenced by regional factors-topographic barriers and volcanic activities-rather than global climatic signal affected by marine conditions. Further research is needed to refine faunal chronology and assess the impact of regional environmental factors in shaping Cretaceous ecosystems of SE China.
