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
In recent decades, African vulture populations have experienced a distressing decline, with certain species plummeting by over 90%. This decline can largely be attributed to various human-induced pressures. In West Africa, the trade of vultures for magico-traditional medicine stands out as a significant threat. However, there remains a dearth of knowledge regarding the extent and economic ramifications of poaching and its associated trade on the biodiversity of these raptors in Côte d'Ivoire. This study sets out to gauge the scope of vulture trade and trafficking in Côte d'Ivoire, as well as its national and subregional repercussions, while also scrutinizing the potential constraints such activity imposes on the biodiversity of these raptors. Ethno-ornithological investigations were conducted across 24 cities in Côte d'Ivoire, delving into the markets where various animals are showcased. The aim was to analyze the challenges stemming from the demand for vultures for magico-traditional medicinal purposes and to examine the economic values entwined with poaching and trading these vultures. The findings illuminate the existence of a network dedicated to poaching and trading vultures in Côte d'Ivoire, driven by robust demand and regularly supplied by local and regional sources from neighboring countries. Predominantly, the Hooded Vulture (
