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

Signature whistles (SW) are a significant element of the vocal repertoire of delphinid species. They encode self-identifying information and allow social cohesion between related and allied individuals through often complex, stereotyped whistle contours. SW recordings allow researchers to explore the presence of individual animals, understand social dynamics, and estimate population size without visual observation. This represents the first study aiming to match distinct SW contours to individual Burrunan dolphins (
