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

The karst region of southwest China is characterized by fragmented habitats featuring high plant diversity but low biological resource availability. Furthermore, high-intensity human activities degrade natural vegetation, reduce landscape connectivity, and alter the bird-plant interaction network. To characterize plant-frugivorous interaction networks in karst habitats, we established six 3 to 5 km transects within Guangxi's Chongzuo White-headed Langur National Nature Reserve, conducting year-round observations of 18 frugivorous birds foraging on 14 fruiting plant species. We calculated four network-level metrics (characterizing network structure) and three species-level metrics (evaluating bird and plant contributions to network structure). Then, we analyzed how species traits influenced their network roles. Compared with the networks (
