Multispecies facial detection for individual identification of wildlife: a case study across ursids.
Article in Mammalian biology = Zeitschrift fur Saugetierkunde, 2022. 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
To address biodiversity decline in the era of big data, replicable methods of data processing are needed. Automated methods of individual identification (ID) via computer vision are valuable in conservation research and wildlife management. Rapid and systematic methods of image processing and analysis are fundamental to an ever-growing need for effective conservation research and practice. Bears (ursids) are an interesting test system for examining computer vision techniques for wildlife, as they have variable facial morphology, variable presence of individual markings, and are challenging to research and monitor. We leveraged existing imagery of bears living under human care to develop a multispecies bear face detector, a critical part of individual ID pipelines. We compared its performance across species and on a pre-existing wild brown bear Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42991-021-00168-5.
