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

Home ranges reflect a trade-off between the costs and benefits associated with acquiring resources and are influenced by complex interactions among intrinsic and extrinsic factors. These factors can lead to different spatial and temporal patterns to acquire the necessary resources that meet energetic and reproductive needs. Identifying the drivers of these strategies concurrently across spatiotemporal scales remains rare but is essential for identifying landscape constraints on populations in rapidly changing systems. We examined spatiotemporal drivers of home range size of the federally endangered ocelot (Leopardus pardalis; [22 Males, 12 Females]) in the two remaining populations in the USA. Males increased home range size during reproductive periods while females constrained their home range, but increased in size to match the demands of reproduction. Habitat complexity and the associated prey diversity and abundance were related to smaller home range size. Our results suggest that home range variation is a response to environmental conditions and annual changes in life history. Sex-specific drivers of home range size across space and time-in the context of habitat loss, shifting climate patterns, and changing resource productivity-can help identify management and habitat restoration targets for small and declining populations.
