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

Climate change and human activities are increasing salt intrusion into estuaries worldwide. This is threatening the last remaining temperate freshwater floodplain forests, which are vulnerable to sea level rise and more extreme river discharges. In temperate regions, salt intrusion events typically occur during summer droughts and/or winter storm surges. While such shift in timing of salt intrusion events could influence vegetation differently based on their phenological cycle, the seasonal impact on freshwater vegetation remains poorly understood. In this study, we exposed two dominant freshwater floodplain-forest tree species, Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12237-026-01726-1.
