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

Educational gardens are green areas in schools that are cultivated with vegetables and are at least partially under the care of students. Although they are usually small in size, they can be biodiversity refuges and act as stepping stones for the flow of species within cities. Biodiversity in educational gardens may be "filtered" by social-ecological processes occurring within the garden, around the garden, and by management practices. This study analyzed species richness and the social-ecological filters that may influence plants and invertebrates in school gardens in the Metropolitan Area of Santiago (MAS), Chile. We sampled 33 vegetable gardens in municipal schools, identifying vascular plants (cultivated and spontaneously growing) and invertebrate morphospecies richness in gardens. We further measured the area of the garden, classified the garden's ground cover and the land cover around the garden's buffer zone, and conducted an interview with the main gardener. A total of 362 plant species and 127 invertebrate morphospecies were recorded. The most influential social-ecological filters of plant richness were garden area (m
