Endemism and Conservation of Hemiptera on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity. Exploring the drivers of species diversity and the conservation status of species in this region contributes significantly to elucidating the mechanisms underlying diversity patterns and optimizing conservation strategies. Understanding endemism is key to developing effective conservation strategies; yet, it has not been fully investigated in insects on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. To address this gap, we compiled a species distribution dataset for Hemiptera and analyzed the relationships between weighted endemism (WE) patterns and six categories of environmental variables using statistical models. We also identified endemism hotspots based on the top 10% grids with the highest WE values and overlapped them with protected areas to investigate the effectiveness of conservation. Our results revealed that endemism patterns on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are heterogeneously distributed and are mostly determined by historical climate change. Furthermore, we identified three endemism hotspots located in the eastern, southeastern, and southwestern fringes of the plateau and defined them as high-priority conservation areas. We revealed that the first two of them are inadequately safeguarded by protected areas, thereby showing a low level of conservation performance for endemism. Based on our findings, we recommend incorporating endemism into research efforts to elucidate the mechanisms shaping species diversity patterns on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, as it provides important historical information on the processes driving these patterns. Moreover, it is necessary to optimize the current protected area network via the expansion of existing protected areas or the establishment of new protected areas.
