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

Deforestation in the Atlantic Forest has reached critical levels, threatening multiple levels of biodiversity. In these deforested landscapes, conservation strategies could benefit from preserving agroforestry systems known as Cabruca, a traditional method of cultivating cocoa under a canopy of native trees. In this context, Cariniana legalis (Jequitibá-rosa), an endemic tree species of the Atlantic Forest listed as endangered, was selected to evaluate the role of cocoa agroforests (Cabrucas) and forest remnants in the genetic conservation of this species. The study assessed the genetic diversity, inbreeding levels, and genetic structure of five populations of C. legalis located in forest remnants protected by law and in Cabrucas in southern Bahia, Brazil. Using 11 microsatellite loci, 294 individuals were genotyped for adult and juvenile ontogenetic stages. Despite forest fragmentation, some populations, especially those located in Cabrucas, retained high levels of genetic diversity in both stages. In contrast, a protected area exhibited lower genetic diversity and elevated inbreeding levels (f > 0.43) in both adults and juveniles. Analyses of genetic differentiation (F
