Vulture mortality resulting from illegal poisoning in the southern Balkan Peninsula.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A study was carried out to determine the incidents of illegal poisoning of griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), black vulture (Aegypius monachus), and bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) in the southern Balkan Peninsula between 1982 and 2017. A total of 38 poisoning cases affecting 224 vultures were analyzed to identify their causes and the primary target species for poisoning. Nine different compounds were used in these incidents and the most frequently applied were strychnine, carbamate, and organophosphoros compounds. The poison used to kill gray wolf had the most significant collateral damage to the vulture populations in comparison to the other investigated reasons. It was the primary cause of 60% of all registered vulture poisoning events in the southern Balkan Peninsula during the last 36 years. Establishing permanent feeding sites for vultures in areas with wolves appears to be an effective way to minimize the risk of poisoning. There is a pressing need for the development of an appropriate conservation practice taking into consideration relationships among the main and casual target species for poisoning as an essential element in conjunction with the human activities.
