Spatial ecology, activity patterns, and habitat use by giant pythons (Simalia amethistina) in tropical Australia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Although giant snakes are abundant in some tropical forests, their ecology is far less well-known than for smaller species of snakes in cooler climates. Information on spatial ecology can clarify management issues such as the sizes and types of habitats needed for conservation. We radio-tracked 27 scrub pythons (Simalia amethistina; snout-vent lengths 2.02 to 3.70 m) in Cape York, near the northeastern tip of Australia, for a mean period of 426 days (up to 1001 days) per snake. Home ranges were larger in males than females (means 0.60 vs. 0.28 km
