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

The province of Pastaza is a biodiversity hotspot in the Amazon but lacks up-to-date inventories of its herpetofauna. This study aimed to provide an updated characterization of the richness, composition and conservation status of amphibians and reptiles in different habitats. Between 2013 and 2018, standardized sampling was carried out using quadrats (8 × 8 m) and transects (100 × 20 m), as well as pitfall traps and daytime and night-time visual censuses. A total of 900 h of effort was distributed across six habitats. Coverage estimators, species accumulation curves, range abundance curves, and alpha diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson, and Chao-1) were used for data analysis, as well as similarity indices (Jaccard). A total of 75 species were recorded (51 anurans, eight lizards, 14 snakes and two salamanders), displaying habitat-dependent dominance patterns led by
