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

Understanding landscape multifunction trade-offs and synergies is fundamental to achieve the regional sustainable management and improving human well-being. Taking the Zhejiang Greater Bay Area as an example, this paper quantitatively evaluates residents' carrying function (RC), food production function (FP), habitat maintenance function (HM), water conservation function (WC) and landscape aesthetic function (LA) in 2022. On the basis of constructing the multifunctional landscape model of the Bayesian belief networks, the key nodes that affect the landscape function are identified by analyzing the importance of nodes. Joint probability distribution, probabilistic reasoning and scenario simulation were used to explore the synergistic and trade-off relationship of landscape multifunction and its driving factors. The results show that: (1) The spatial heterogeneity of RC, FP, HM, WC and LA in the Greater Bay Area is significant. The distribution of RC and FP is relatively consistent, with high values concentrated in the northeastern plain and coastal areas, and low values distributed in the mountainous and hilly areas of the northwest and southwest. The distribution of HM, WC and LA is relatively consistent, showing a spatial pattern of high hills in the northwest and southwest mountains and low in the northeast plain and coastal areas. (2) There is a synergistic relationship between HM, WC and LA. There is a trade-off relationship between RC-WC, FP-HM and FP-LA. (3) Land use type and NDVI are the main factors affecting the synergistic relationship of landscape multifunctional. Population density and altitude are the main factors affecting the trade-off relationship. It is found that different drivers generate the same synergy (or trade-off) in different states, while the same drivers generate different synergy (or trade-off) in different states. This study has important theoretical and practical value for understanding the complex relationship between landscape multifunctionality and the differences in driving factors, and for proposing countermeasures and measures to improve landscape ecosystem management and human well-being.
