BIRDBASE: A Global Dataset of Avian Biogeography, Conservation, Ecology and Life History Traits.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Trait datasets play a crucial role in advancing ecological, biogeographical and evolutionary studies and in prioritizing global conservation efforts. Birds are the best-known major group of organisms and comprise excellent environmental indicators. With their diverse traits, birds offer valuable insights into the provisioning of critical ecological functions and how animals adapt to global change. BIRDBASE is a global avian trait dataset that provides an up-to-date compilation of ecological traits for all birds. With 78 traits from 11,589 bird species in 254 families, and data on 6%-16% more species than the previous avian trait datasets, BIRDBASE includes all the bird species recognized by the four major avian taxonomies. BIRDBASE is also the first avian trait dataset that covers all the species in AviList, the new unified global avian checklist. As the most comprehensive avian trait dataset, BIRDBASE will enable new meta-analyses in ornithology, conservation biology and macroecology, expand our ability to understand the origins and maintenance of biodiversity, help quantify avian responses to global change, and inform international conservation efforts.
