Assessing the role of foliar habit on nutrient losses in a sub-Antarctic forest.
Article in Ecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biogeochemical cycles drive global biodiversity and plant productivity. In terrestrial ecosystems, nutrient losses through plants' litter are a critical component of these biogeochemical cycles. In forests, nutrient losses are thought to be higher in deciduous angiosperm species than in evergreen conifers. However, this premise of nutrient loss differentiation between contrasting leaf habits has not been evaluated in co-occurring deciduous and evergreen broadleaved tree species. We conducted a high-frequency monitoring study of nutrient losses in congeneric and sympatric broadleaved tree species with contrasting leaf habits. We collected litter periodically for three years from 979 co-occurring trees of the deciduous Nothofagus pumilio and Nothofagus antarctica and the evergreen Nothofagus dombeyi in a sub-Antarctic forest of southern Chile. We estimated and compared foliar habits' litterfall biomass (senescent and green leaves and fruits), nutrient return through litterfall's nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contents, and synchronization between litterfall mass and nutrient concentrations for each species. Annual litter biomass was higher in the two deciduous species (on average 2.01 t ha
