Fire and Snow: Effects of Snowpack Variation and Wildfire on Small Mammal Dynamics in Sub-Alpine Habitats.
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
Montane ecosystems in many parts of the world are threatened by climate change. In Australia, alpine and sub-alpine habitats face warming temperatures, increased risk of wildfire and incursions by invasive species. For small mammals that are active over winter in these habitats, a further risk may arise if the winter snowpack-and the thermally buffered subnivean space that it creates-is impacted. We examine long-term (19-43-year) datasets on three species of small mammal in sub-alpine habitats in Australia to test whether populations decline in years when there is a shallow or transient snowpack, and after wildfire. We anticipated that species would show differential susceptibility to snowpack integrity, with species such as the broad-toothed rat (
