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

Butterflies serve as sensitive bioindicators of ecological health, with their diversity affected by anthropogenic disturbances such as urbanization and habitat alteration. Lakeside, located in Pokhara, Nepal, is one of the most urbanized areas in the country, with its eastern boundary abutting the Methlang Forest area. Despite its rich biodiversity, the forest remains under-documented. Between 2017 and 2021, the author conducted modified Pollard Walk surveys on an opportunistic basis to assess the species composition, richness, and seasonal distribution of adult butterflies across the forest. A total of 225 butterfly species, representing six families across 122 genera, were recorded within a 2.1 km
