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

Spatially explicit information on forest structure and biomass is needed to meet the monitoring and reporting requirements of several European policies. Satellite images enable mapping and monitoring of the Europe's forest resources through operational observations from the Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and the Advanced Land Observing Satellite 2 (ALOS-2) Phased Array l-band SAR 2 (PALSAR-2) instruments. Data acquired in 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2023 were used to generate annual maps of forest biomass variables, namely Growing Stock Volume (GSV), Aboveground Biomass (AGB) and Belowground Biomass (BGB), with a pixel size of 20
