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

Comprehending the interrelationships among ecosystem services (ESs) across temporal and spatial scales is fundamental for effective ES management. In this study, correlation analysis, geographically weighted regression (GWR), self-organizing maps (SOMs), and random forest modeling (RFM) were used to comparatively analyze the interrelationships among eight ESs at grid (1 km × 1 km) and township scales in a karst region of China from 2000 to 2020. The results showed that food production (FP) exhibited the greatest increase, whereas water purification rate (WP) changed minimally. Nine ES pairs exhibited trade-offs, primarily involving the FP, whereas most of the other ES pairs demonstrated synergies. Four distinct ecosystem service bundles (ESBs) were identified at both scales, although their composition and abundance varied. Natural, anthropogenic, and landscape pattern factors influenced ESs differently at different scales. This study reveals complex multiscale ES interactions and offers guidance for spatial planning and sustainable ES management in karst regions.
