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
Improving the precision of forest vegetation carbon stock estimation is essential for scientifically evaluating its economic value and ecological benefits. This study aims to investigate the impact of different estimation methods on carbon stock and its economic value. Taking the forest vegetation of the Zixi Mountain Nature Reserve as the research object, the carbon stock of the arbor layer was estimated using four approaches: the variable biomass expansion factor method, the biomass expansion factor method, the volume conversion method, and the continuous function method of the biomass conversion factor. The carbon stocks of economic forests and shrublands were estimated using the average biomass method. The economic value of forest carbon storage was then evaluated through the market value method and the optimal pricing approach for forest carbon sinks. The results revealed no significant differences among the four estimation methods. The estimated arbor forest carbon stocks were 692,548.39 tC, 672,599.83 tC, 673,161.07 tC, and 400,369.17 tC, respectively, with an overall average of 609,669.62 tC. The biomass expansion factor method and the volume conversion method produce the most consistent results. The corresponding relative errors were 13.59%, 10.32%, 10.41%, and -34.33%, respectively. The continuous function method of the biomass conversion factor exhibited the greatest variability, mainly due to the influence of
