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

Coastal areas host 40% of humanity and critical biodiversity, confront synergistic pressures from climate change and human activities that represent a significant challenge for coastal sustainability. While global initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Land-ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) emphasize coastal sustainability, existing assessments remain limited by data fragmentation, inconsistent spatial scales, and unintegrated indicators. To address these gaps, we present the Global Coastal Sustainable Development (GCSD) Indicators Database-a standardized, high-resolution (1 km) framework. Derived from open-access datasets, it uniquely bridges coastal pressures, socioeconomic exposure, and ecological thresholds at process-relevant scales, embedding SDG nexus dynamics. By overcoming scale mismatches in traditional national-level assessments and resolving issues of heterogeneous data standards, inconsistent quality control and semantic interoperability across multiple databases, GCSD harmonizes scattered data into a replicable framework. This advancement enhances the ability to track progress, inform adaptive management, and balance immediate needs with long-term coastal sustainability.
