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
Environmental changes and anthropogenic activities have significantly altered plant species distributions and biodiversity in various regions of Egypt, contributing to habitat fragmentation and a decline in plant populations. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of vegetation diversity, species distribution, conservation status, and environmental relationships across diverse habitats in Egypt, including coastal regions (Hurghada and El-Arish) and inland deserts (Wadi El-Gemal and El-Galala). From 2023 to 2024, a vegetation survey was conducted across four study areas in Egypt using stratified random sampling; the survey involved 86 sampled plots, analyzing species composition, growth forms, and cover. A total of 45 species from 16 families were recorded, with Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, and Zygophyllaceae being the most dominant. Species were classified as native or non-native, and their conservation status was determined based on the IUCN Red List criteria. Multivariate analyses (cluster analysis, Detrended Correspondence Analysis, and Canonical Correspondence Analysis) revealed seven distinct vegetation groups (A-G), which were significantly influenced by soil properties such as pH, electrical conductivity, and ion content. The study also calculated diversity indices, with average species richness (SR) of 4.5 ± 2.1 species per plot and a Shannon-Wiener Index (H') ranging from 0.38 to 1.99. Conservation status assessments showed that 95.5% of species were native, with two non-native species recorded. Several species, such as Anabasis articulata and Haloxylon salicornicum, were categorized as Vulnerable (VU), while others, including Panicum turgidum and Phragmites australis, were classified as Near Threatened (NT) or Least Concern (LC). The results of this study underscore the importance of understanding the complex relationships between plant communities and environmental factors to develop targeted conservation strategies. The findings also emphasize the need for continued monitoring and protection of both coastal and inland desert habitats in Egypt to mitigate the effects of environmental degradation and preserve biodiversity.
