Linking Tree and Shrub Biomass to Plant Diversity During Early-Stage Alpine Afforestation.

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
Afforestation has considerable potential to restore and maintain plant diversity, which is closely associated with ecosystem functions and services. However, there remain numerous uncertainties regarding alpine afforestation performance. Hence, it is necessary to determine the factors contributing to plant diversity during the early stages of afforestation in alpine regions. Our main objective of this study was to examine the effects of tree and shrub biomass on plant diversity, namely, species (SD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversity, during the early period of afforestation. We used a general linear mixed model (GLMM) to determine the associations between tree and shrub biomass and multiple indices (Shannon, Simpson's diversity, species richness, Pielou's evenness, Faith's phylogenetic diversity, and net relatedness) at two spatial scales (1 × 1 m
