Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates?
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
The removal or exclusion of invasive mammals is a crucial strategy for protecting vulnerable biodiversity, particularly on islands. While eliminating invasive mammals has been shown to increase native species abundance and diversity, it remains unclear whether the ecosystem functions those species provide are also being restored. In particular, the restoration of ecosystem functions performed by invertebrates, such as litter decomposition, pollination and herbivory, is poorly understood. We test whether the removal of invasive mammals restores invertebrate-mediated decomposition by measuring decomposition of a common native tree (
