Optimizing ecosystem restoration with facilitation cascades.
Review in Bioscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The United Nations General Assembly designated 2021-2030 as the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Meeting this international mandate requires developing, testing, refining, and implementing evidence-based approaches that will significantly increase restoration performance and accessibility. Approaches that apply ecological theories of community organization and species interactions have generally been underused in restoration but can enhance performance and provide opportunities for expanding multispecies conservation. We review how co-occurring habitat-forming species collectively enhance biodiversity, habitat heterogeneity, niche complementarity, and amelioration of physical stress. We show how successive beneficial interactions between foundation species-facilitation cascades-can be used in restoration to increase local biodiversity, enhance and provide additional ecosystem functions, and strengthen resistance to environmental stress and pace of regrowth. Approaches that incorporate co-occurring foundation species' interactions can create a critical step change to advance restoration of biodiverse and resilient ecosystems at the pace and scale required to achieve now seemingly out-of-reach restoration targets.
