Ecological Network Theory Boosts Land Maxing Benefits for Biodiversity: An Example with Tropical Bee-Plant Interactions.

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.
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
Land maxing in cultivated ecosystems can improve upon other agroecological approaches because in this approach social, economic and ecological benefits are maximized within the available land, in part through the careful selection of plant species with specific benefits, e.g., biodiversity conservation, provision of ecological services, diversifying and improving farmer incomes. In this approach, plant species selected for improving farmer incomes are those providing non-timber marketable products, and plant species selected for biodiversity conservation and provision of ecological services can be identified quantitatively via ecological network theory. Here, we demonstrate using ecological network theory to identify (a) farm management practices associated with ecological network indices, and (b) key plant species that farmers can plant to maximize the potential for their land to support bees and pollination services. In this study we quantified bee-plant interaction networks within 10 agroforests, and compared results between the entire bee community and the subsetted stingless bee community. Bee abundance increased with flowering plant richness, explaining 9% of the variance (R
