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

Infectious diseases of wildlife cause human health hazards and economic losses. However, it is unclear how outbreaks affect human behaviour in relation to countermeasures against human-wildlife conflict. To explore the effects of infectious disease outbreaks among wild boars on countermeasure choices, we analysed online auction data before and after an outbreak of classical swine fever in wild boar. Online sales of boar traps decreased by 17 % after the outbreak, whereas sales of control items increased by 73 %. These results imply that infectious disease outbreaks in wildlife shift people's countermeasures from active to passive management. Since active trapping for the control of wildlife populations is essential to the avoidance of human-wildlife conflict, our findings show that outbreaks of infectious disease can aggravate conflict. Governments, farmers and hunters need to improve population control after outbreaks of infectious disease.
