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
Amid accelerating climate change, understanding how wildlife adjusts to environmental constraints, particularly via habitat use, is essential. In high-altitude regions with extreme environmental conditions and strong ecological filtering effects, geomorphic and soil characteristics are critical factors influencing habitat utilization preferences. Previous studies of factors affecting wildlife habitat-use preferences have primarily focused on low-altitude areas. However, research remains scarce on the relationship between habitat utilization preferences of small mammals in plateau regions and geomorphic and soil characteristics. In this study, we selected 66 plots from 19 typical distribution areas of pikas in three counties of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau to assess the relationship between the pika's habitat-utilization preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics at a large scale. The results revealed that the factors affecting the habitat use of pikas are potentially similar across regions. The resource selection index (
