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

This study details how digital biodiversity data is used and gains meaning in local restoration projects, how these experiences contrast with large-scale innovation patterns, and what new design recommendations emerge from these insights. Digital innovations in biodiversity technologies are increasingly complex, fast-paced, and driven by technological capacities where data generation rather than biodiversity restoration risks becoming the primary goal. Focusing on a biodiversity restoration project with a living lab community in the Netherlands, this participatory research critically examines how plans for emerging technologies, such as biodiversity simulations and digital twins, contrast with local user relations to biodiversity data. Building on qualitative insights from six-months of fieldwork, a digital and physical data portal was designed to simulate ongoing technoscientific innovation and make their complex effects experientially available to users. Findings are brought directly in conversation with emerging technical features through four distinct themes with the aim to share user-insights and produce design recommendations for: environmental storytelling, prediction and future making, interactive dynamics, and simulation aesthetics. These themes articulate the community's preferences towards digital environments that support their nuanced, complex relationships with local biodiversity, suggesting a shift from top-down technocentric approaches to more community-driven and restoration-focused models. Based on this study, design recommendations are articulated for each of these four themes contributing detailed empirical and practice-oriented insights that propose how new biodiversity technologies can resonate more effectively with local biodiversity restoration efforts.
