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

Infestations of small terrestrial mammals (e.g., rodents and lagomorphs) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau pose formidable challenges, which are exacerbated by the region's vast expanse and extreme environmental conditions. Conventional chemical treatments have proven unsustainable and environmentally detrimental, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions. We introduce the Grassland Guidance Trap System (GGTS), an innovative control method specifically designed for ecologically sensitive plateau regions experiencing severe small terrestrial mammal infestations. In this study, we systematically investigated the capturing mechanisms of the GGTS and its sustained control effect during large-scale enclosed field deployment. The results demonstrate that the guide net achieves a 2.62-fold increase in the number of plateau pikas (
