The Significant Impact of Lost Species' Identity, Number and Abundance on Functional Structure of Alpine Meadow.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Biodiversity, the cornerstone of ecosystem functions and services, faces threats from anthropogenic climate change. However, it remains unclear how species loss, including abundance, number, and identity of lost species, would alter the functional structure of alpine meadow plant communities. Through a species removal experiment conducted in an alpine meadow of the central Tibetan Plateau, we found that removing common species typically altered the functional structure of plant communities. Changes in community functional structure were highly positively correlated with both the number of species removed and the degree of abundance loss. Beyond this, species removal treatments had significant direct effects on community functional structure, as revealed by a partial least squares path modeling approach. This indicates that the effects of species identity are independent of the number of species lost and the degree of abundance loss. Especially, only the removal of species including
