Plant-Pollinator Interaction Rewiring Boosts Year-to-Year Community Persistence.
Article in Ecology letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Despite widespread recognition of the dynamic nature of ecological interactions, the consequences for community persistence of the observed year-to-year changes in species interactions have remained overlooked. Our research bridges this gap, leveraging a uniquely high-quality dataset spanning 8 years and 12 independent sites-offering unparalleled resolution to examine plant-pollinator interactions. Here, we characterise year-to-year variation in plant-pollinator interactions and compare their structural stability (a robust theoretical measure describing species persistence) with that of null models simulating random rewiring. We discover that although most interaction changes (80%) are caused by species turnover, it is the temporal rewiring among permanent species that primarily enhances pollinator persistence. This interaction rewiring is not random and effectively boosts pollinator persistence despite being primarily determined by changes in the phenologies and abundances of the permanent pollinator species. While not fully optimised, these adaptive responses underscore the vital role of rewiring in fostering ecological stability amid a changing world.
