Landscape and Season Influence Bat Activity and Richness in a Mediterranean Metropolitan Area.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Urbanisation alters landscapes and filters biodiversity, yet its effects in Mediterranean cities remain poorly understood despite their unique ecological and climatic context. As adaptable insectivores and key providers of ecosystem services, bats are an important component of urban biodiversity. We investigated how landscape composition, artificial illumination, and seasonality shape bat activity and species richness in Naples (Southern Italy), a densely inhabited Mediterranean metropolis. We hypothesized that: (1) artificial illumination would favor light-tolerant species; (2) urban areas would enhance bat activity through roosting and foraging opportunities; and (3) urban warming would reduce seasonal declines in activity. Passive ultrasonic recorders were deployed in summer and winter across 12 1 × 1 km cells spanning a gradient of green space size and fragmentation. We recorded seven species and one Myotis group, with communities dominated by synurbic taxa (
