Community Trait Distributions Drive Biomass Stand Allocation Trade-Offs in Karst Forests.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Community biomass allocation is jointly determined by habitat conditions and plant functional traits. Studies of biomass allocation patterns in topographic-soil climax communities of karst ecosystems remain scarce. According to the trait-driven paradigm, topographic gradients and soil properties indirectly influence karst forest biomass, via their control over community-level functional structure. In the 25-ha Maolan Dynamic Plot of the Karst Forest Ecosystem in South China, we compiled 1255 high-quality trait records for six key plant functional traits related to biomass from 48 dominant species, individual biomass data for 12,354 stems, and fine-scale environmental variables. Partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to quantify the direct and indirect factors affecting biomass allocation in this climax karst forest community. We observed that the trade-offs in biomass among different forest layers were more effective in predicting the biomass status of natural communities (
