1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The diverse, highly endemic flora and fauna of Madagascar make it a priority for research and conservation. Lemurs, the island's endemic primates, exhibit a distinctive array of biological, behavioral and demographic traits. Research on these species contributes to significant theoretical issues, including the evolution of mammalian life histories and social systems. Virtually all 107 extant lemur species are threatened with extinction or critically endangered, and a better understanding of demography and the drivers of demographic change is needed to inform management strategies for surviving wild populations. Sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) have been continuously studied and demographic parameters have been monitored at the Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve in southwest Madagascar since 1984. We have compiled a dataset encompassing over 900 individuals that have been tagged and followed during this period, and new data continue to be added. Data provide information on male and female life history parameters, individual development and aging, and social group dynamics. The dataset is an important resource for both research and management.
