Environmental drivers of vigilance behaviour in painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) nesting colonies.

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
Vigilance in animals, crucial for predator detection, impacts survival and reproduction by diverting time from activities like foraging and mating. Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala), a colonially nesting bird, experiences disturbances from avian predators and human presence while nesting in colonies across varied habitats in India. We measured environmental vigilance behaviour at two diverse types of nesting sites in North India, the National Zoological Park and Keoladeo National Park. We studied the study role of several variables viz. sex, nestling age, number of neighbours, number of visitors, and other variables on vigilance, by camera techniques. Our findings revealed significant sex-based differences, with males being more vigilant than females, likely due to their roles in territoriality, mate guarding, and nest protection. Parental vigilance increased as nestlings aged, underscoring its importance as parental investment. Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) indicated that number of visitors, number of neighbours, and other habitat variables significantly affected vigilance behaviour. Painted Storks at the National Zoological Park displayed higher vigilance than Storks in Keoladeo National Park, attributed to site specific variables.
