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

Thinning offers long-term benefits for planted forests and is an important silvicultural practice. Meanwhile, ecosystem would respond to thinning and the optimal photosynthetic environment would change. Clarifying and quantifying the changing optimal photosynthetic environment induced by thinning is important for accurate prediction of carbon budgets and effective management of artificial forests. Based on six-year continuous in situ observations of carbon fluxes and corresponding environmental factors before and after 25% thinning in a typical subtropical plantation in China, this study revealed that thinning increased the optimum values of key environmental factors (net radiation (Rn), air temperature (Ta), and vapor pressure deficit (VPD)) for gross primary productivity (GPP). Meanwhile, thinning enhanced the ecosystem maximum GPP (GPP
