Variability of environmental, contextual and individual factors in human-shark interactions in New Caledonia, 1980-2022, with some comparisons to Reunion Island.

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
This paper analyses data related to 62 human-shark interactions in New Caledonia and 60 in Reunion Island from 1980 to 2022. A database on human-shark interactions in New Caledonia and Reunion Island was developed using the same variables and similar time steps for both locations. The discussion focuses on human-shark interactions in New Caledonia, with some comparisons to those on Reunion Island where possible. Environmental, contextual and individual variables related to human-shark interactions were analysed to identify potential influencing factors. The data analysis for New Caledonia revealed some correlations between variables related to the human-shark interactions. The main results showed that there was a concomitant increase in human-shark interactions since 2010 in the bays of Noumea and in the prevalence of human-shark interactions among people practising boardsports since 2007. The year 2007 was a pivotal year with respect to differences in important parameters of human-shark interactions. The results of this comparison between Reunion Island and New Caledonia were as follows: fatal human-shark interactions occurred among individuals practising boardsports and in turbid environments, whereas nonfatal human-shark interactions among individuals engaged in spearfishing and in clear water in New Caledonia.
