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

Understanding how the behaviour of volant species is influenced by winds is important at a time when global airflow patterns and intensities are shifting. We investigated how wind speeds and directions influenced the flight and feeding events of a flap-gliding seabird during central place trips searching for aerial prey like Exocoetidae flying fish. We deployed GPS accelerometers on red-footed boobies (
