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

Digital tools are mushrooming in the renewable energy sector, as a solution for ecological monitoring and as a tool for implementing biodiversity-positive solutions. Despite high expectations for positive impact in sectors such as offshore wind, there has been little consideration of how digitalization shapes biodiversity governance. We argue that realizing the potential of emerging digital technologies for ecological sustainability in the offshore wind sector will require a critical reflection about the assumptions and limitations of digital biodiversity governance approaches. Drawing on literature and examples of digital tools, we argue that the current governance approaches falls short of what's needed to tackle the ecological impacts of offshore wind. Our perspective proposes four guiding principles for a more collaborative, ecosystem-based way forward. Following these principles could help to realize digital technologies' promise of sustainable outcomes in the offshore wind sector and in other sectors facing trade-offs between rapid development and ecological impact.
