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

Owl monkeys (Aotus spp.) are the only nocturnal simian primates and, as such, they are very different from other nonhuman primate species. Despite owl monkeys being used as animal models to study malaria for over 50 years, there is not much information about their requirements in captivity compared to other primate species commonly used in biomedical research. This may be due to the fact that owl monkeys are nocturnal, making them more difficult to study in their natural environment. Information about their natural environment and behavior is important for designing the most appropriate husbandry for these species in captivity. Here we briefly review the taxonomy, geographic distribution, anatomy, and behavior of the owl monkey in hopes that it will be useful for animal care personnel and researchers designing and conducting research with this invaluable animal model.
