Disturbance Dynamics and Its Effects on Carbon in Human-Impacted Mountain Forests in Northwestern Yunnan, China.

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
Human activities alter disturbance regimes, influencing forest structure and ecosystem carbon. Identifying and quantifying natural and anthropogenic disturbances at fine spatial scales are critical to assessing the role of forests in climate change mitigation. This study investigated disturbance history and carbon storage in human-impacted forests and open ecosystems at elevations of 2000-4200 m in northwestern Yunnan, China. We established 50 sampling plots along the four due orientations of a mountain peak. Using tree rings, fire scars, satellite imagery, official records, and interviews, we reconstructed historical disturbances and identified fires, logging events, landslides, and icy precipitation since the 1950s. We analyzed the impact of disturbance history and topography on ecosystem carbon storage, including pools in soil (0-30 cm), woody debris, and non-woody and woody plants. Disturbances since the 1950s were largely driven by anthropogenic activities over time, along with climate and topography. Fires and logging were common near settlements in
