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

Characterizing population dynamics in heterogeneous environments requires comprehensive long-term data. We monitored seven small mammals in replicated sites in a semiarid Chilean thorn-scrub habitat over 30 years using monthly capture-mark-recapture (CMR) sampling. We applied a superpopulation CMR modeling framework to examine the following: (i) How do population sizes and demographic parameters vary seasonally and over time? and (ii) Are there commonalities in the variation of those parameters either seasonally or annually? Capture probabilities among four "core" species (
