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

This study proposes an enhanced remote sensing ecological index (ERSEI) incorporating water-retention dynamics to quantify spatiotemporal variations in ecological quality and carbon storage in Yichang city (2003-2023). Utilizing principal-component analysis (PCA) and GeoDetector, we evaluated ERSEI trajectories and underlying mechanisms. Results reveal that mean ERSEI increased by approximately 12.5%, exhibiting pronounced spatial heterogeneity (higher in western mountainous zones, lower in eastern plains). Driver analysis demonstrated a temporal shift from topography- and vegetation-dominated controls to intensified socioeconomic and climatic influences (notably gross domestic product [GDP] and temperature) post-2013, characterized by nonlinear synergistic interactions. Furthermore, bivariate spatial autocorrelation confirmed a significant coupling between ERSEI and InVEST-estimated carbon storage; regions with improving ecological quality achieved a net carbon increment of approximately 2.11 t hm
