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

Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is a key indicator of forest productivity and carbon sequestration, yet many remote sensing AGB models overlook spatial autocorrelation in plot observations and model residuals. This study proposes a hybrid framework that combines a CNN-Transformer (Convolutional Neural Network-Transformer) model with geostatistical Kriging of residuals to improve regional AGB mapping in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China. Using 398 forest plots and multi-source predictors derived from Sentinel-2 imagery, ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 SAR data, and ALOS 12.5 m DEM, relevant variables were screened using Random Forest importance ranking. The most influential predictors included Sentinel-2 Band 8 and Band 12, EVI, PC1, mean77, HH/HV, ARVI, NDVI, RVI, and elevation. Ten-fold cross-validation showed that the CNN-Transformer-CK model had the highest accuracy in predicting forest AGB, with a validation R
