Simulated climate warming strongly constrains the seedling establishment of alpine cushion
Article in Plant diversity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Population shrinkage of alpine cushion plants with ongoing climate warming has been empirically confirmed. Since cushion plants play important roles in sustaining alpine plant community and ecosystem functions, their population dynamics may directly influence the future alpine ecosystems. However, little is known about how climate warming affect cushion population recruitment, especially at early life-history stages. In this study, we conducted a laboratory simulation of climate warming to detect the effects of warming temperature and associated moisture and light changes on seed germination and seedling growth of the typical alpine cushion plant
