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

This article presents two complementary bioarchaeological datasets documenting human skeletal and archaeobotanical evidence from central Latium (Italy), spanning the Roman Imperial to Late Antique periods. The datasets were designed to ensure the systematic recording, standardisation, and long-term digital preservation of information relating to funerary, biological, and environmental contexts, including the presence of faunal remains, which have also been registered within the anthropological dataset. The present research originates within Spoke 8, "Sustainability and Resilience of Tangible Cultural Heritage," of the extended partnership CHANGES (Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Next-Gen Sustainable Society), a national initiative aimed at developing innovative and interdisciplinary approaches for the sustainable management of cultural heritage in Italy. Within this framework, the present study contributes to the broader objective of integrating advanced technologies, scientific methodologies, and participatory governance models to strengthen the knowledge, conservation, and resilience of Tangible Cultural Heritage (TCH). This research builds upon three fundamental pillars established within Spoke 8. The first concerns the systematic documentation and assessment of TCH through the integration of heterogeneous data sources, archaeological, historical, cartographic, and visual, within georeferenced digital environments. The second focuses on the development of shared infrastructures and methodological standards to ensure data interoperability, reproducibility, and long-term preservation, thereby enabling cross-disciplinary analyses and comparisons. The third pillar promotes sustainable and inclusive models of heritage management, in which technological innovation supports both conservation and community engagement. The anthropological dataset presented here, named "IULIA: a georeferenced anthropological dataset from Ancient Latium" [1], integrates data from three necropolises, Lucus Feroniae, Isola Sacra, and Selvicciola, derived from archival documentation, published literature, and recent research conducted in the Laboratory of Paleoaanthropology and Bioarchaeology of the Sapienza University of Rome (PanBa Lab, Department of Environmental Biology) on skeletal collections preserved at the Museum of Anthropology "Giuseppe Sergi". Each individual is associated with a unique alphanumeric identifier (
