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

Understanding the spatial patterns of herbivore habitat use is important for understanding ecological processes and ecosystem management. Past research has mainly focused on explaining herbivore habitat selection, to the extent that environmental variables driving habitat selection can be considered well researched. However, little is known about how environmental variables contribute to patterns of foraging site revisitation, even though revisited sites might represent sites of ecological significance. The increasing elephant population in South Africa is causing a decline in woody species, necessitating insight into elephant habitat use to improve the management of areas in which they occur. This study aimed to gain insight into the spatial patterns of foraging site revisitations by the African elephant (
