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

Trade in wild game meat (WGM) is increasing in online markets. However, the distribution of WGM in online trade remains unclear, and our limited knowledge has prevented sustainable WGM consumption that reduces the risks to human health and overcomes the challenges in wildlife management and biodiversity conservation. To explore the trends and challenges of online transactions of WGM, we analyzed the sales data from the online consumer-to-consumer market in Japan. Results revealed a high propensity to trade the lean meat. Our results also showed that transactions of edible offal were significantly positive and relatively more common in wild boar and black bear. In the brown bear, the coefficient for the sales numbers of "hand and foot" was significantly positive. Findings indicate that the online consumer-to-consumer market can be a new opportunity to distribute WGM. The development of guidelines and regulatory systems could help to avoid the risks associated with WGM consumption.
