Global Diversity Patterns in Anurans Are Determined by Terrestrial and Arboreal Species.
Article in Integrative zoology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Understanding the mechanisms shaping biodiversity distribution patterns is essential in ecology, and species distributions are closely influenced by environmental factors. Previous studies have often focused on taxonomic levels, potentially overlooking important within-group ecological variations. Anurans, with six distinct ecotypes, each occupying unique habitats, serve as an ideal model to examine how environmental factors shape these ecotype-specific distributions. Here, we investigated the global distribution and environmental determinants of anuran ecotypes to reveal diversity patterns, assess their contributions to overall anuran richness, and identify key environmental drivers. Using microhabitat and geographic data from 6088 anuran species, we mapped the richness and relative richness of each ecotype and evaluated the correlation between ecotype distributions and overall anuran diversity. We further used a random forest model to analyze the impact of environmental factors on the distribution patterns of each ecotype. The results showed significant diversity and distributional differences across ecotypes. Terrestrial and arboreal species, comprising 38.44% and 41.19% of total richness, respectively, contributed strongly to anuran diversity patterns (correlation up to 0.96), while other ecotypes showed weaker correlations. The impacts of environmental factors varied across ecotypes and even had contrasting effects among them. Our findings underscore the importance of accounting for ecotype differences within taxa to accurately understand biodiversity distribution patterns, as environmental influences on anuran diversity are strongly ecotype-dependent.
