Towards Operationalizing Ecological Resilience for Infrastructure Decision-Making.

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
While definitions of resilience from ecology recognize the potential for systems to shift between multiple stable states and adapt to a changing environment, traditional engineering assessments of infrastructure resilience overemphasize stability and recovery. These engineering approaches may be limiting society's ability to effectively adapt and manage change. We propose to incorporate ecological resilience ideas into engineering projects by leveraging mathematical models, originally developed to describe ecological systems, to identify and describe equilibria in socio-technical systems. We present a conceptual case study of coastal communities facing competing pressures of urban growth and managed retreat to exemplify the use of these tools. We discuss how metrics of ecological resilience relate to existing definitions of resilience in engineering and their implications for infrastructure decision-making.
