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

Background: The data presented here constitute an important component of the LIFE SNAILS project (Support and Naturalisation in Areas of Importance for Land Snails) which aims to protect three threatened endemic mollusc species from Santa Maria Island: two land snails ( New information: We obtained 55 sampling events from forests on Santa Maria between 16 June 2024 and 15 December 2025. A total of 20,282 specimens were collected, with 15,055 specimens identified to species or subspecies level, representing 74% of the total sample. Overall, 172 species and subspecies were identified: 27 endemic, 48 native non-endemic, 77 introduced and 20 of uncertain colonisation status. We recorded ten species new to Santa Maria Island. However, none represented a new record for the Azores Archipelago. Of these new island records, two were native non-endemic species, six were introduced and two had uncertain colonisation status.
