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

Mosses contribute to a multitude of ecosystem functions, and their structural and functional traits, such as shoot density or water storage capacity, can play an important role in performing these functions. It is widely known that mosses substantially reduce surface runoff and soil erosion, so the impact of mosses on soil hydrology is expected to be important worldwide. Nevertheless, it is poorly understood how moss species with different traits affect soil erosion and soil water fluxes. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of the two moss species,
