Future Tibetan grasslands will decrease: A novel insight from constructive grass species.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tibet's grasslands, the region's dominant ecosystem, are vital for pastoral livelihoods and wildlife habitats. However, their future distribution under combined climate change and anthropogenic pressures remains poorly understood. This study presents an innovative species-level modeling framework to project Tibetan grassland dynamics through the simulated future spatial distribution of 44 constructive grass species. Our results show a net decline of 4.6% in grassland area by 2060, characterized by a 6.7% reduction in productive grasslands yet a 6.6% expansion of wildlife-habitat grasslands. Projected losses are greater under 2°C/century or 5°C/century warming than under intermediate warming trajectories (3°C-4.1°C/century). These findings suggest climate change will challenge pastoral productivity while benefiting Tibetan wildlife, offering key insights for navigating the complex trade-off between sustaining pastoralism and preserving biodiversity in high-altitude grassland ecosystems.
