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

Collagen-elastin (CE) bundle patterns in the wing membrane have been used to identify individual bats; however, this method has not been widely adopted, likely owing to the laborious nature of manually comparing wing images through visual inspection. We tested the effectiveness of using an accessible, feature-based, pattern-recognition software-HotSpotter-to identify individuals using patterns of CE bundles in the bat wing. We collected photos from 24 adult (
