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

Introduction: Tidal inundation, characterized by its duration and depth, is a fundamental driver of mangrove zonation and community assembly. A mechanistic understanding of how mangrove species, particularly those with restricted ranges, adapt to this dual hydrological stress is critical for informing conservation and restoration strategies under changing environmental conditions. This study examined the combined effects of flooding duration and depth on seedlings of two thermophilic mangrove species with narrow distributions in China: Methods: A controlled tidal simulation system was employed to apply nine interactive treatments, combining three flooding durations (4, 8, and 12 h·d Results: For Conclusion: Our findings reveal that co-occurring mangrove species adopt divergent ecological strategies to cope with identical dual flooding stress; these strategies span a continuum from conservative specialization to plastic generalization. This study provides a trait-based framework for understanding niche differentiation and advances species-specific selection criteria for restoring vulnerable mangroves in heterogeneous intertidal environments.
