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

The KGI-SESMAP is a high-resolution dataset of 88 orthophotomosaics documenting southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) breeding colonies on King George Island, Antarctica. Acquired using remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs) between 2019 and 2024, surveys were conducted annually during the breeding season across three Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs 128, 132, and 151). Imagery was collected with DJI RPASs and processed using a standardized photogrammetric workflow in Pix4Dmapper Version 4.6.4. The resulting georeferenced orthomosaics have ground sampling distances (GSDs) between 1.04 and 4.89 cm/pixel. This dataset captures reproductive phenology, fine-scale seal distributions, and environmental background conditions. It supports remote wildlife monitoring and enables high-resolution spatial analyses to study ecological dynamics and climate-related change in the rapidly warming Antarctic Peninsula region. All materials are openly available through the figshare data repository and include detailed quality control documentation. Beyond wildlife monitoring, the dataset is valuable for remote sensing validation and climate impact assessment, providing a robust scientific basis for developing management and conservation strategies within ASPAs.
