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

The Hokkaido brown bear is the largest terrestrial mammal in the Hokkaido ecosystems and now inhabits almost all forests in Hokkaido, Japan. These bears have evolved through a unique shift from carnivorous to omnivorous feeding habits, which are of interest to their ecology. However, human-bear conflicts, such as human injury and crop or livestock damage, have become a serious concern, which requires ecological research for its mitigation. The hibernation behavior of bears has unique characteristics that differ from those of other small hibernators, including minimal decrease in body temperature. Interestingly, they show resistance to muscle atrophy and bone loss during prolonged periods of immobility. This review provides an overview of ecological and physiological studies on bears from One Health perspective, focusing on ecology, human-bear conflict, infectious diseases, and hibernating physiology and its application to human health.
