The role of bison (Bison bison) herbivory in the function of semi-arid grasslands of Arizona.
Article in Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America, 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
The American Plains Bison (Bison bison) is recognized as a grassland keystone species; however, their effect on grassland ecosystem function can vary widely among different plant communities, ranging from degradation to enhancement. Grazing dynamics, environmental conditions, and the capacity for plants to compensate for losses due to herbivory largely govern the degree and magnitude of herbivory-induced ecosystem change, making it challenging to manage grazing ecosystems. Here, we examine how different grazing intensities and environmental conditions affect aboveground herbaceous production and herbaceous nitrogen yield within high-elevation, semi-arid grasslands of the Grand Canyon ecosystem in northern Arizona, United States. We conducted a replicate herbivore exclusion experiment in grassland meadows using both long-term exclosures (0.40 ha) and temporary grazing exclusion cages (1 m
