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

Montane species are predicted to respond to climate change by moving upslope, particularly high elevation specialists with thermal niches adapted to cold environments. Unfortunately, the accuracy of predictive species distribution models is often reduced by (1) the challenge of accounting for changes in habitat and resource availability and (2) the inability to account for complex life history strategies. Here we use the Wallcreeper (
