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 ecosystems display pronounced elevational heterogeneity driven by steep water and soil gradients, fostering niche differentiation as a biodiversity maintenance mechanism. While hydraulic trait divergence underpins such distribution patterns, certain species thrive across diverse microhabitats. Intraspecific variability in drought-resistant hydraulic traits may enable such broad-niche species to exploit habitat heterogeneity, but whether it is a key mechanism in karst ecosystems is unclear. Specifically, locally widespread species lacking hydraulic variability may compensate through conservative stomatal regulation to maintain hydraulic safety, thereby colonizing extreme arid hilltops. For three widespread woody species in a tropical karst forest (
