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

The coastal counties of Zhejiang Province, China, are important for economic development, marine economy, and nature conservation. This study aimed to support sustainable land-use policies through the planning and management of 35 counties, using official land-use data from 1990 to 2020. Spatial analysis methods included transition matrix, land-use intensity, landscape-pattern indices, centroid shift, and standard deviation ellipses. Results showed a "north-cropland, south-woodland" structure, together over 75% of the area. Construction land expanded steadily to 20%, mainly from cropland, woodland, and grassland (87% of outflows). Inflows mainly involved construction land, woodland, and cropland (91%). The wetland was dominated by the river channel and mudflat. Mudflat and beach made up 94% of outflows; reservoir and pond, 78% of inflows. Land-use intensity increased overall, with Pinghu highest. Grassland centroid shifted 38.74 km. Ellipses showed directional changes. Land-use diversity and spatial complexity increased, reflecting intensified human influence and offering a basis for sustainable planning and ecological restoration.
