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

Background: Ground beetles are present in most terrestrial ecosystems and fulfil key functions, especially as many species are important predators, contributing to natural pest control in agricultural landscapes. However, intensive agriculture, which combines monocultures and synthetic inputs, has been shown to have negative effects on insect diversity and abundance. To counteract insect decline, numerous measures are being implemented and tested at national scales. These also include flower strips which might have the potential to provide suitable habitats and connect beneficial insects' populations across agricultural landscapes. Especially if flower strips are located along forest edges, they could reinforce synergy functions and, by that, reduce the barrier effect of conventional agricultural fields. Within the framework of a two-year project, ground beetles were assessed in corn fields [ New information: We provide data on 34,413 specimens belonging to 93 ground beetle species. None of these species is evaluated in the IUCN Red List at the European level, but four species have been classified as being
