Urban Bat box translocation for Vespertilio sinensis conservation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bats are vital for ecosystem stability, yet their natural habitats are increasingly threatened by urbanization, resulting in marked population declines. While some species have adapted to artificial structures as roosting sites, public fear and prejudice often lead to bat displacement, exacerbating human-bat conflicts. Therefore, exploring feasible solutions to increase bat roosting habitats in urban areas is urgent. On July 25, 2019, 40 individuals of Vespertilio sinensis (20 adults and 20 subadults) were artificially translocated from residential areas in Changchun, Jilin Province, to a new building using bat box. Over the 114-day observation period, the population dynamics of V. sinensis roosting in the bat box exhibited five distinct phases, characterized by a gradual decline in total bat numbers. In the year of installation, activity levels of Pipistrellus abramus and Hypsugo alaschanicus substantially decreased but returned to pre-installation levels the following year. Continuous monitoring from 2020 to 2022 indicated that although the activity levels of V. sinensis increased, not many V. sinensis individuals continued to use the bat box. The results of this study provide foundational data for the establishment of artificial bat roosts in urban areas and offer scientific insights for mitigating human-bat conflicts and promoting harmonious urban ecosystem development.
