Multispecies view of the effectiveness of the giant panda conservation programme.
Article in npj biodiversity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) conservation programs have attracted significant funding and helped increase panda numbers. However, their effectiveness in achieving wider conservation goals is often doubted. This study evaluates the impact of giant panda reserves on the habitat suitability of 12 endangered species within 5 km of roads and assesses changes in human disturbances. Using data from the third and fourth national panda surveys and a matching approach, results show that these reserves enhance giant panda population density and habitat suitability, and benefit most wildlife species, particularly ungulates, with spillover effects improving adjacent areas' habitat suitability, likely due to reduced human disturbances. However, some species like the Chinese red panda (Ailurus styani) still gain limited protection. The findings stress the need for more targeted measures in the Giant Panda National Park's development. This multispecies study offers solid evidence for the effectiveness of giant panda conservation efforts and useful insights for protecting other flagship species.
