Functional diversity of woody plant communities and its driving factors in the northern Hainan volcanic lava region.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To assess woody plant community functional diversity and its main environmental drivers in the northern Hainan volcanic lava region, a tropical volcanic landscape with marked habitat heterogeneity. Methods: Woody plant communities were surveyed in the field, leaf functional traits were measured, and nonparametric tests, correlation analysis, redundancy analysis (RDA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to evaluate functional-diversity patterns and potential direct and indirect driver pathways. Results: Community-weighted mean values of leaf area (LA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), chlorophyll a/b ratio (Chl a/Chl b), leaf dry weight (LDW), and leaf tissue density (LTD) were higher in trees than in shrubs ( Conclusion: Functional diversity in this volcanic lava ecosystem is shaped by multiple environmental pathways, with soil properties playing an important mediating role. These findings provide evidence for conserving and managing woody plant communities in tropical volcanic landscapes.
