Long-term trends in human fatalities from human-elephant conflict in Chhattisgarh, India.

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
Human-elephant conflict poses a major challenge to both wildlife conservation and human livelihoods across Asia. These conflicts often occur due to habitat fragmentation, agricultural expansion, and the depletion of natural food resources, increasing the frequency of interactions between elephants and humans. We investigated human fatalities and injuries over 23 years (2000-2023) in Chhattisgarh, India, focusing on temporal variations and the underlying drivers of conflict. Data collected from 19 forest divisions revealed a total of 828 incidents, including 737 human fatalities and 91 injuries, with Jashpur, Dharamjaigarh and Surajpur, emerging with the highest concentration of incidents. Most of these conflict incidents occurred during the monsoon. Conflict incidents are significantly influenced by proximity to natural and human-modified landscape features, with high-conflict zones near forest edges. The frequency of conflict incidents decreased with increasing distance from roads, crop fields, and built-up areas. Additionally, conflict incidents show a decreasing trend in areas with larger forest patches. Village-level analysis revealed that high-conflict areas have higher forest cover (~ 75%) and lower crop cover (< 25%). Prioritizing high-conflict villages, safeguarding elephant corridors, and implementing localized conflict mitigation measures in high-risk zones are essential to address the escalating human-elephant conflict (HEC) challenges in Chhattisgarh.
