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

Human Footprint (HF) maps score human pressures based on their influence and integrate them into a single spatial index to assess the naturalness of ecosystems. We produced a historical series of national HF maps for Peru and Ecuador for Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG15) reporting. These maps integrate pressures from built environments, land use/land cover (LULC-agriculture, pasture, tree plantations), roads and railways, population density, electrical infrastructure, oil and gas infrastructure, and mining. The dataset includes HF maps and individual pressure maps for Peru from 2012 to 2021, as well as for Ecuador for the years 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. These maps support the analysis of spatiotemporal patterns of human influence at national and subnational levels, enabling biodiversity monitoring, modelling, and conservation in these highly biodiverse countries.
