The Agroforestry Species Switchboard, a global resource to explore information for 107,269 plant species.
Article in Scientific data, 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
The Agroforestry Species Switchboard is a comprehensive vascular plant database that guides users to information for a particular taxon from a global but fragmented set of resources. Via standardized species names, a user can rapidly determine which among the 59 contributing databases contain information for a species of interest, and understand how this information can be accessed. By providing taxonomic identifiers to World Flora Online, it is straightforward to check for changes in taxonomy. Among the 59 databases referenced, ten covered over 10,000 species, 20 between 1,000 and 10,000 species, and 22 between 100 and 1,000 species. The top ten plant families for species richness across covered databases were the Fabaceae (9,537 species), Asteraceae (6,041), Rubiaceae (4,812), Poaceae (3,947), Myrtaceae (3,544), Euphorbiaceae (2,689), Malvaceae (2,478), Rosaceae (2,374), Lauraceae (2,334) and Lamiaceae (2,107). Information included in the Switchboard distinguishes 54,812 tree-like species, covering most known tree species globally. Among its applications, the Switchboard can assist species selection for ecological restoration projects to synergize biodiversity and human well-being objectives.
