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 degradation of permafrost and the higher number of heavy rainfall events increase geomorphic disturbance (GMD), affecting the vegetation establishment in high-elevation belts. To evaluate the effect of GMDs on vegetation development, it is essential to understand how species or plant groups respond to disturbances. In this study, we investigated vegetation establishment in undisturbed and disturbed plot pairs along elevational transects in the Austrian and Italian Central Alps. Differences in total vegetation cover, species diversity, the cover of different plant groups and the community weighted means of the Landolt indicator values were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test for non-parametric data and paired
