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

Conserving natural ecosystems requires consistent and standardized biodiversity data to advance scientific research and ecological understanding. Despite several national initiatives to develop databases of species habitat suitability maps, even well-studied countries often lack comprehensive, standardized databases that cover a wide range of taxonomic groups modelled using a consistent framework. Using Switzerland as a case study, we demonstrate how these gaps can be addressed by introducing SDMapCH (v1.3), a nationwide raster database of species habitat suitability maps at 25-meter resolution. SDMapCH provides maps for about 7,500 species under both present conditions and future climate scenarios. SDMapCH was developed using the N-SDM software, an end-to-end platform based on a spatially-nested hierarchical framework. N-SDM allows multi-level integration of species and covariate data, helping to address niche truncation. SDMapCH outputs were evaluated using a state-of-the-art cross-validation procedure, and all layers passed a systematic data integrity check. By providing standardized, high-resolution habitat suitability maps for diverse species across various taxonomic and functional groups, SDMapCH stands as a key resource for scientific research and biodiversity assessments.
