Post-Fire Forest Pulse Recovery: Superiority of Generalized Additive Models (GAM) in Long-Term Landsat Time-Series Analysis.

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
Wildfires are increasing globally and pose major challenges for assessing post-fire vegetation recovery and ecosystem resilience. We analyzed long-term Landsat time series in two contrasting fire-prone ecosystems in the United States and Australia. Vegetation area was extracted using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) with Otsu thresholding. Recovery to pre-fire baseline levels was modeled using linear, logistic, locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS), and generalized additive models (GAM), and their performance was compared using multiple metrics. The results indicated rapid recovery of Australian forests to baseline levels, whereas this was not the case for forests in the United States. Among climatic factors, temperature was the dominant parameter in Australia (Spearman ρ = 0.513,
