Urban-Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador.
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
Biodiversity in urban environments is often underestimated, particularly in tropical regions such as Ecuador. This study presents the most comprehensive inventory to date of amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest and most industrially developed city, based on 17 years (2008-2025) of systematic field surveys, museum records, and literature review. Located on the Pacific coast and adjacent to two global biodiversity hotspots (the Tropical Andes and Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena), Guayaquil has experienced significant urban expansion, resulting in extensive fragmentation of tropical dry forests and mangrove ecosystems. We document a total of 63 species (19 amphibians, 44 reptiles) occurring within the remnant forest. This inventory includes introduced species, resilient taxa that are adapted to urban environments, and sensitive species that are affected by urban pressure. Notably, species such as
