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

Plant-pollinator networks provide crucial insights into the mechanisms shaping the structure, stability, and ecosystem services of bee communities. Despite the Mediterranean basin being one of the world's richest regions for bee and plant diversity, it remains relatively understudied, with many islands largely overlooked in interaction studies. Here, we conducted an extensive survey of wild bees and their interactions with plants across four sites in Sardinia, the second-largest Mediterranean island, including two locations on Asinara Island with largely natural habitats and two sites in Nurra, a mainland area dominated by agroecosystems. In total, we recorded 122 wild bee species, including
