The Cat's Whiskers: Stable Isotopes Reveal Individual Specialisation of Adaptable Caracals (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Urbanisation critically alters the availability of resources and the nature of risks for wildlife by fragmenting natural habitats and disrupting ecosystems. Despite these challenges, carnivores frequently persist in and around urban environments, where novel opportunities, such as anthropogenic food, may outweigh associated ecological risks. Here, we investigate the responses of an urban adapter to novel resources, using stable isotope analysis of vibrissae (whiskers) to understand the spatiotemporal foraging patterns of caracals (
