Mapping the potential of Natural Pest Control services in pan-European landscapes at 50 m resolution.
Article in Scientific data, 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
Natural pest control is a crucial regulating ecosystem service for sustaining crop yields while lowering pesticide use. Its effectiveness depends on landscape complexity, particularly the amount and spatial arrangement of semi-natural habitats, in and around fields, that support natural enemies. We provide a 50 m-resolution, pan-European map of NPC potential that updates and refines the model of Rega et al. (2018). The workflow merges Copernicus High-Resolution Layers for 2018 - Tree Cover Density, Grasslands and Woody Vegetation Mask (5-10 m source grids) - with empirical coefficients from extensive field surveys. Morphological spatial pattern analysis distinguishes linear from areal habitat elements, capturing their contrasting ecological functions: linear features improve connectivity for enemy movement, whereas areal patches offer stable refugia and resources. All scripts and configuration files are openly released, allowing straightforward reruns with future Copernicus updates or with analogous land-cover products outside Europe. The resulting NPC index maps spatial variation in habitat composition, abundance and proximity to cropland, providing an indicator for planning and management from continental to local scales.
