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

Small mammals play crucial roles as seed dispersers and ecosystem engineers in forest ecosystems. This study explores the impact of canopy cover on small mammal communities in the Xiaozhaizigou National Nature Reserve, part of the Giant Panda National Park, Northern Sichuan. Field surveys were conducted across 16 sampling plots (50 × 50 m²) in four canopy cover classes (0-24%, 25-49%, 50-74% and 75-100%) during 2023 and 2024. Forests with lowest canopy cover (Class I) exhibited the highest alpha-diversity due to greater habitat heterogeneity, while highest canopy cover forests (Class IV) supported habitat-specialist species, including endemic species Sciurotamias davidianus and Niviventer excelsior. Rodentia showed significantly higher abundance than Eulipotyphla across all canopy classes. Beta-diversity analysis revealed that species turnover (β
