Intraspecific higher order interactions enhance ecological community stability.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Ecosystem stability is influenced by interspecific interactions, with recent research focusing on how third-party species modify these interactions. However, the impact of "intraspecific higher-order interactions," where the presence of one species affects intraspecific interactions within another species, on ecosystem stability has been less explored. This study addresses this gap by developing a mathematical model to investigate how such interactions influence stability. The analysis shows that when higher-order interactions increase intraspecific competition within another species, stability improves, especially in large, complex ecosystems. However, this effect is not observed if the interactions solely increase or decrease competition without a mixture of both. These findings highlight the importance of both positive and negative effects on intraspecific competition for enhancing stability in complex ecosystems. This emphasizes the need for further research on the role of higher-order interactions in shaping ecosystem stability, particularly in complex ecosystems.
