Assembly mechanism of primary forest dominated by habitat filtering in karst degradation region.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: The revelation of the assembly mechanism of plant communities in karst region has crucial implications for the restoration of degraded vegetation. Niche theory and neutral theory are the two main theories to elucidate community assembly of karst plant community. However, the relative significance of habitat filtration and biological action in community assembly remains a topic of debate. Methods: By using measurement of plant functional traits, detection of phylogenetic signal (K value), and average shared variance, our investigation aimed to ascertain whether species coexistence in community assembly of primary forest is driven by habitat filtering or biotic constraints. Results: In all 10 plant functional traits, leaf carbon (LC) had the lowest variation coefficient, whereas leaf area (LA) exhibited the highest. Significant phylogenetic signals ( Discussion: Our finding indicated that the community assembly of primary forest plant was dominated by habitat filtering, which could significantly promote a more profound comprehension of natural restoration in karst degradation region.
