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

Higher plant richness at forest edges does not by itself reveal whether native diversity is retained. We surveyed 196 plots in 28 tropical urban remnant forest patches in Haikou, China, comparing edge and interior vegetation. Herb richness and Shannon diversity were higher at edges, whereas adult-tree richness was lower. The total-herb-richness increase (1.94 species plot
