Rights of nature, an ornamental legal framework: water extractivism and backbone rivers with rights in Colombia.

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
Rivers have been at the centre of judicialization processes that have forged post-human legal experiments, gaining new rights, personhood, and legal agency. This article interrogates river rights jurisprudence through discourse analysis and using my engagement as situated researcher, revealing the positionality of rivers in the configuration of extractive regimes and contributing to the conceptualization of 'water extractivism'. I argue that the enshrinement of rights to watercourses has become an ornamental legal framework that doesn't dismantle the private law 'legal arrangements' that provide stability and fluidity to extractive projects and interests that still take precedence over human and non-human rights.
