Ex Situ Conservation of Epiphytic Orchids: A Bibliometric Review.
Review in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Epiphytic orchids, representing 70% of the Orchidaceae family, face critical challenges due to habitat loss, climate change, and overexploitation. Ex situ conservation aims to preserve these species outside their natural habitats while maintaining their ecological characteristics for potential reintroduction. This review examines various ex situ strategies, including seed banking, living collections, tissue culture, and mycorrhizal conservation, as well as acclimatization techniques and reintroduction efforts. Botanical gardens, private collections, and orchid seed banks play essential roles in safeguarding genetic diversity and supporting reintroduction projects. The success of these efforts hinges on a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates scientific research, community involvement, and habitat restoration to ensure the long-term survival of epiphytic orchids. The findings emphasize the need for integrated conservation strategies to bridge the gap between orchid ecology studies and practical conservation actions.
