Status of endangered large prey predators following civil unrest in a biodiversity hotspot of India.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biodiversity hotspots, often located in regions of armed conflict face severe threats. Manas National Park, at the confluence of Indo-Burma and Himalaya hotspots, suffered two decades of civil unrest (late 1980s to early 2000s), causing habitat destruction and wildlife declines, including local extinction of the greater one-horned rhinoceros and near-extirpation of swamp deer. Using elephant-back line transect distance sampling and camera trap-based spatially explicit capture-recapture in 2022 and 2023, we assessed post-conflict recovery of endangered prey-predator guilds. We recorded high densities of elephant (9.14 (SE 2.16) per km²), wild buffalo (4.47 (SE 1.51) per km²), and tiger (7.91 (SE 1.05) per 100 km²), while gaur, sambar, and barking deer showed stable densities compared to 2015 baselines. Rhinoceros and swamp deer populations grew significantly (17 (SE 3) and 17 (SE 1) % annually), while hog deer and wild pig populations declined sharply. Tiger poulation recovered, with 57 adults, establishing Manas as a source population for the transboundary landscape, while leopard maintained stable densities (4.77 (SE 0.80) per 100 km
