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

Protected areas are vital for preserving native biodiversity, yet invasive alien plant species (IAPS) pose significant threats to their conservation. This study investigates how IAPS diversity varies across their dispersal corridors, such as road verges, riversides, seasonal springs, fire lines, and trekking trails, and examines the relationship between tree canopy openness and IAPS richness. We sampled 156 plots (2 m × 5 m) along these corridors in Parsa National Park (PNP), ensuring a minimum distance of 100 m between plots. Out of 10 IAPS recorded during the study, road verges and riversides were invaded by 70% of the recorded species, while the walking trail had the lowest number of IAPS (30%). The most prevalent IAPS was
