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

Invasive ants have exerted major effects on global ecosystems and economic systems. Therefore, their future niche and range shifts have received more research attention; however, the shifts between their native and introduced populations have not been widely investigated. Here, we examined niche and range shifts between native and introduced populations of 18 IUCN-recognized invasive ant species based on 133,786 global occurrence records. Most introduced populations have undergone substantial niche and range expansions compared to their native counterparts.
