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

Understanding the interactions between human activities and ecosystems is crucial to enhancing human well-being and adaptive governance. This study employs the human footprint index (HFI) and the ecosystem quality index (EQI), along with multivariate statistical methods, to analyze human-nature relationships and their driving mechanisms in the Yangtze river delta urban agglomeration (YRDUA). The results show a steady increase in HFI and a decline in EQI from 2000 to 2020 in the YRDUA. The ratio of coordinated to conflicting areas has remained stable at approximately 3:5. Over 95% of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) were classified as primarily or moderately coordinated. Vegetation cover and human activity intensity were the main positive drivers of CCD in coordinated and conflicting regions, respectively, while terrain and climate were the dominant negative drivers. These findings deepen our understanding of human-nature interactions in urbanized areas, offering valuable insights for targeted ecosystem restoration.
