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

Investigating altitudinal distribution patterns of species richness represents a fundamental research objective in biogeography and community ecology. Hainan Island has tropical rainforests ranging from sea level to >1800 m a.s.l., with various animal species, including reptiles such as geckos. Information on the altitudinal distribution patterns of animal diversity on Hainan Island is limited. Thus, from October 2020 to June 2023, we surveyed Gekkonidae species on Diaoluo Mountain and Jianfeng Ridge in the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park using a line transect method. The two study sites were divided into seven altitudinal zones at intervals of 150 m from 31 to 1080 m a.s.l. We tested correlations between abundance and species diversity indices and altitude. Five gecko species were identified. The endemic
