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

Bats are essential to ecosystem functioning, providing vital services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control. With over 1400 species worldwide, they exhibit diverse roosting behaviors that are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. However, research on bat populations, particularly in urban environments, remains limited in Nigeria. The study investigated the spatial distribution of Straw-Colored Fruit Bat (
