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

Karst landscapes, vital to global terrestrial ecosystems, are characterized by fragmented soil patches with low resource availability and high resource heterogeneity. However, the relative roles of patch properties, soil resource availability, and heterogeneity in shaping plant species and phylogenetic diversity remain unclear. To address this, we conducted in situ observations across 27 10 m × 10 m plots in three karst abandoned farmlands to quantify the effects of patch properties, soil resource availability, and heterogeneity on plant species composition, species diversity, and phylogenetic diversity during early restoration. Patch area strongly influenced species richness (
