Developing mixed-effects height-diameter model using stand and environmental factors for mixed forests in northern China.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding tree height (H)-diameter at breast height (D) allometric relationship is crucial for estimating biomass, carbon storage, and productivity. Environmental factors and species diversity strongly influence this relationship, yet remain understudied. Using data from 99 plots in Hulunbuir mixed forests, inner Mongolia, we developed an environment-sensitive nonlinear mixed-effects model for five tree species. The model incorporates variables representing stand-level attributes, soil properties, climate factors, and species diversity. Variations at the sample plot and species levels were accounted for by introducing random components into the H-D model. Quadratic mean diameter, total basal area greater than the target D (BAL), Simpson's diversity index (SIM), mean annual precipitation (MAP), and soil organic carbon significantly affected the H-D relationship. Height growth increased with BAL and MAP but declined with higher SIM. Species traits and environmental factors jointly shaped H-D scaling. The proposed model supports adaptive forest management under changing environments.
