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

Xinjiang's distinctive geography and climate provide important habitats for Falconidae species, yet their climate-driven habitat shifts and conservation gaps remain poorly understood. Using 2731 validated occurrence records and 26 environmental predictors, including bioclimatic, land-use, topographic, hydrological, anthropogenic, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) predictors, we applied an optimized Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) framework to project suitable habitats for seven falconid species under current conditions and three Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios (1-2.6, 2-4.5, and 5-8.5) for 2041-2060, 2061-2080 and 2081-2100. Barycenter migration analysis, the Habitat Quality module of the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs framework, and protected-area overlays were further integrated to identify conservation priorities. All models showed high discriminatory performance, with mean areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve exceeding 0.90. Current suitable habitats were mainly concentrated along river corridors and mountain foothills in the southern Altai, central-western Tianshan and northern Kunlun regions. Future responses were strongly species-specific. By 2081-2100 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 5-8.5, suitable habitat increased by 154.6% for
