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

Pollinating insects are the most important pollinators in nature; they pollinate vegetables, fruits, oil crops, and wild plants, so that crop yields can be increased, wild plants can live and reproduce, and human food security and ecosystem stability are maintained. To identify the pollination network of plants-insects and the pollination service value in Hanzhong City, the methods of random net capture and transect counting in field work were used. The agricultural statistical data from Hanzhong City in 2023 was combined in the analysis. The results showed that Hanzhong City is rich in pollinator resources, with a total of 80 species of pollinators and 59 species of pollinating crops and wild nectar plants. The abundant pollinator resources provide sufficient pollination services for the production of local vegetables, fruits, and oil crops. The characteristics of the pollination networks are obvious, showing the structural characteristics of low connectivity, medium nesting, and low network specialization. In 2023, the pollination service value of pollinators in Hanzhong City was CNY 3524-4878 billion, accounting for 10.02-13.87% of the city's agricultural output value of the year. Suggestions for the protection of pollinators in Hanzhong City: Reduce the use of pesticide, support beekeeping, intercrop nectar plants, and rationally plant crops.
