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

The Koktau Mountains, located within the Kalba Highlands of Eastern Kazakhstan, represent an important yet insufficiently studied center of plant diversity in the Kazakhstan Altai. Field surveys conducted between 2018 and 2025 yielded more than 2700 herbarium specimens and were complemented by a revision of collections deposited in the ABG, AA, LE, and MW herbaria. Taxonomic, ecological, and incidence-based comparative analyses were used to characterize the flora and evaluate its relationships with neighboring regions. We recorded 817 accepted vascular plant taxa at species and infraspecific ranks, belonging to 356 genera and 79 families. The flora combines boreal, Mediterranean, and Turanian elements, reflecting the transitional position of the Koktau Mountains between the Altai mountain systems and the steppes of Eastern Kazakhstan. Twenty-seven rare and threatened taxa were identified, including 16 species listed in the Red Data Book of Kazakhstan and two species endemic to Kazakhstan, one of which,
