Biomass Exhibited Greater Sensitivity to Degradation Than Community Structure in an 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
Clarifying the temporal sequence of productivity loss and community structure alteration is critical for developing effective grassland restoration strategies. However, the relative timing of declines in plant productivity and community structure during grassland degradation remains poorly resolved. To address this gap, we conducted a field survey in an alpine meadow in Potatso National Park, southeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), to quantify plant biomass and community structure. Based on the collected data, four degradation levels (DL1-DL4) were identified, representing a progressive gradient of degradation intensity. Results indicated that both aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) declined significantly, whereas the root-to-shoot (R:S) ratio increased with increasing degradation severity (
