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 article describes the building process behind an in silico ecological network of the species of Tuscany (Italy) and their different interactions as an OPEN (Open Potential Ecological Network). All the data sources consist of already open and available databases from experts and citizen science projects on species presence and interactions. The result is a multi-interaction metaweb which is uncommon on public repositories. Both the final dataset and the pre-built potential ecological network are completely open and ready to use. The methods and framework pipeline used for collecting, cleaning and joining the original databases are described and summarised. The network building process is generalised to facilitate adaptation and reproducibility for other geographical locations. This pipeline can be used to generate broader metaweb from existing data for the purpose of performing baseline ecological network analysis, as well as serving as an educational tool for the public.
