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

Elucidating the connection between the total supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESTSD) can provide comprehensive decision support for regional eco-management. Previous studies have focused on the spatial and temporal evolution of ESTSDs in the horizontal dimension but studies in the vertical dimension are lacking; too much attention has been given to single dimensions for ecological management zoning while omitting multilevel and multiobjective considerations; and there are limitations in knowledge about the threshold scale effect of ecosystem service (ES) influencing factors. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the ESTSD in Jiangxi Province; to reveal the spatial and temporal evolution of the matching of total supply and total demand, the coupling and coordination, and the vertical spatial gradient effect of the ESTSD; to propose a multiobjective zoning framework that integrates 'supply-demand-coordination-function' and 'strategic guidance-zoning control-functional guidance'; and to delineate three levels of integrated ecological management zones. Constraint lines were used to explore and complement the threshold scale effect. The results show that the ESTSD values are low overall. The high supply‒low demand region is large, and the degree of coupling coordination shows an overall imbalance. The matching and coupling coordination of the ESTSD shows significant vertical spatial gradient effects. Four strategic guidance zones at the primary level, 5 secondary regulation zones, and 5 advantageous function guidelines are delineated. As the scale increases, the optimal thresholds for the digital elevation model, slope, and precipitation all decrease, whereas those for the temperature increase. It is proposed that this study will further refine the management of regional ecosystems, regulate the contradiction within the ESTSD, realize a multiobjective ecological zoning control, and promote regional coordination and sustainable development. This research provides favorable support for ecological management and can serve as a reference for similar regions.
