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 capacity of environmental impact assessment to adequately consider cumulative effects on Indigenous territories in Canada is limited by several deficiencies, including the problematic use of recent or current state as a baseline, adopting a narrow spatial and temporal scope, and marginalizing Indigenous knowledge and experiences. The result is an environmental assessment process that strains Indigenous community resources yet fails to address concerns. Using the Fort McKay Métis Nation (FMMN) of northeastern Alberta as a case study, Indigenous knowledge and simulation modeling were brought together in pursuit of a more comprehensive assessment of cumulative effects on Indigenous land use. Focus group meetings and interviews established that the ability of FMMN members to hunt, fish, trap, and harvest in their territory has rapidly diminished in recent decades, a finding also documented by a simulation that reconstructed landscape changes occurring over the past 120 years across a 103,000 km
