Alpine Summer Surface Temperature Amplification Is Spatially Heterogeneous and Intensified by Wind and Sun.
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
Recent studies suggest that alpine microtopography may buffer against climate warming by creating more diverse climates over small spatial extents. Here, we examined with thermocouples how daytime summer surface temperatures differed from free-air temperatures and how much summer diel temperatures varied across small areas (8 × 8 m) for eight paired (open and krummholz) alpine plots at Cardinal Divide, Alberta, Canada. We found summer daytime surface temperature amplifications with open plots averaging 26.7°C ± 0.2 SE on the ground relative to 21.1°C ± 0.1 SE at a 2-m free-air height (5.6°C ± 0.1 SE amplification). Krummholz plots decreased surface amplifications, compared to those observed in the open alpine, averaging 27.3°C ± 0.2 SE on the ground relative to 22.9°C ± 0.1 SE at 2 m (4.4°C ± 0.1 SE amplification). Wind and solar radiation altered temporal patterns in surface temperatures, resulting in increased amplification and decoupling from free-air temperatures. At wind speeds of 3 m/s and solar radiation of 900 W/m
