Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The spread of invasive species presents a significant global challenge that threatens natural habitats, agricultural productivity, and biodiversity. In Ethiopia, Calotropis procera and Xanthium strumarium are aggressively invasive noxious weeds whose expansion is intensified by human activities and climate change. This study aimed to model the current and future distribution and habitat suitability of these species across Ethiopia to support effective management strategies. An ensemble modelling approach was employed, combining seven algorithms that include both machine learning and regression-based methods, under various settings with ten replications. Predictions were made for current environmental conditions as well as future climate scenarios projected for the 2050s and 2070s. The results showed that human footprint and bioclimatic variables were the most influential predictors of habitat suitability for both species. Under current conditions, approximately 47,652 and 45,901 km
