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

Fruit volume is a pivotal reproductive trait that influences dispersal, seed predation, and offspring establishment, yet its large-scale drivers remain poorly understood. Here, we compiled phylogenetic, functional, and climatic data for 2668 angiosperm species sampled from 22 ecological stations across China to disentangle the relative contributions of evolutionary history, plant traits, and climate to interspecific fruit volume variation. We quantified phylogenetic signal, fitted phylogenetic generalized linear models and mixed-effects models, and conducted hierarchical variance partitioning to evaluate predictor importance. Fruit volume exhibited a strong phylogenetic signal (Pagel's
