Making sense of nature-based flood mitigation: A levers framework for conceptualizing and communicating natural flood management (NFM).
Article in Bioscience, 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
Natural flood management (NFM) offers a sustainable alternative to traditional flood mitigation by harnessing natural processes to slow and attenuate floods. This paper introduces a biogeomorphic levers framework to conceptualize NFM across three spatial scales; channels and reaches, valleys and corridors, and tributaries and catchments. By identifying geomorphic and vegetative elements that can be manipulated to enhance hydraulic roughness and deliver flood mitigation, the framework provides a practical tool for implementation and communication. The article provides an overview of the challenges of scaling NFM for different flood magnitudes and offers a reality check for practitioners and decision-makers. This forum reframes NFM as a nature-based, multi-scalar strategy for the 21st century.
