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

Sub-Andean forests of the Colombian Central Cordillera are among the most biodiverse and threatened Neotropical ecosystems, yet their floristic composition, vegetation structure, and aboveground carbon storage remain poorly documented. We characterized the floristic diversity, vegetation structure, and aboveground carbon storage of the El Mangón sub-Andean forest remnant (24 ha; 1600-1700 m a.s.l., Cauca, Colombia) using general (non-systematic) collections across the total area and a structural inventory in five 50 × 4 m transects (498 individuals, 35 species). A total of 281 species, 209 genera, and 99 families were recorded; epiphytes represented 44.13% of species, exceeding typical values (25-35%) for this forest type. Diversity indices were intermediate (H' = 2.55; DMg = 5.47; 1-D = 0.89).
