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

Savanna grasslands in dry-hot valleys play crucial ecological and productive roles, yet accurate estimation of their aboveground biomass (AGB) remains challenging due to rugged terrain, climatic variability, and intensive human disturbances. To address this, we investigated the Yuanmou dry-hot valley in Yunnan, China, by constructing a multi-source dataset that integrated remote sensing indices, topographic factors, meteorological variables, and biodiversity metrics. Three feature selection techniques were applied to identify key predictors, and the selected variables were used to train ensemble machine learning models. Of all tested model combinations, the Random Forest model with Recursive Feature Elimination achieved the highest predictive accuracy, with a coefficient of determination of 0.6975, a root mean square error of 89.3436 g/m
