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

Karst microhabitats, characterized by their complex structures and unique functions, serve as critical habitats and resource reservoirs for biodiversity. However, systematic research in this area remains limited. This study conducts a systematic literature review based on publications from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) databases, with a focus on karst microhabitats in China. The objectives are to synthesize domestic research progress and compare it with international studies to enhance the understanding of microhabitats. The findings reveal that: (i) the number of publications on this topic has generally increased, with CNKI literature predominantly centered on karst and microhabitat entities (47% of the total), whereas WOS publications place greater emphasis on biodiversity within microhabitats (24%); (ii) key advances and landmark findings from studies conducted at different scales in Chinese karst regions are highlighted, along with a summary of critical scientific issues; and (iii) representative techniques applicable to karst microhabitats in China are evaluated, drawing on international research experience and their adaptive outcomes. Moving forward, research on karst microhabitats in China should prioritize quantitative analysis of subsurface spatial characteristics and integrate interdisciplinary approaches to elucidate resource allocation mechanisms.
