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

Recent surveys in the Congolian rainforest have significantly improved the quantity and quality of material available to rigorously assess bat diversity (Order Chiroptera) in this biodiversity hotspot. However, the paucity of data on free-tailed bats in this region is hindering our ability to resolve the actual number of species present in Central Africa. During a recent expedition to continental Equatorial Guinea, a single free-tailed bat was captured in a patch of primary continental rainforest. This bat exhibited unique external and cranial characteristics, strongly suggesting it to be a male of
