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 global decline of biodiversity demands transformative change that realigns human activity with planetary processes. Regenerative development may facilitate systemic transformation but remains underexamined in relation to biodiversity. We explore the relationship between biodiversity and place regeneration, conceptually aligning biodiversity enhancement and regenerative development. This requires adopting a refocused concept of biodiversity as a dynamic, relational attribute of life that engenders biocultural diversity. Similarly, regenerative development promotes co-evolving, life-affirming relationships within and between human and natural systems. Regenerative design may catalyse regenerative development capacity in communities by engaging participants in regenerative dynamics, potentially increasing biodiversity. However, the intentional incorporation of actions explicitly aimed at enhancing biodiversity remains necessary. Challenges persist due to entrenched anthropocentric worldviews and the difficulty of including human expressions within biodiversity. The refocused biodiversity concept offers a feasible leverage point for fostering transformative change within the narrowing timeframes to halt biodiversity decline.
