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 Atlantic Forest is a biome of great diversity under constant anthropic pressure. This study was conducted in three environments in the state of Rio de Janeiro: rural environment, Seropédica campus (UFRRJ); urban environment, Urca campus (UNIRIO); and forest environment, Três Picos State Park, Cachoeiras de Macacu. We aimed to evaluate the attractiveness of the fauna of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae by two stages of bait decomposition, study their synantropy, and identify bioindicators for each environment. Four traps were installed at each environment, two containing preserved beef liver and two containing beef liver with 48 h of putrefaction. Samples were collected quarterly, between June 2021 and May 2023. A total of 5476 dipterans were collected, with five Calliphoridae species (77.1%) and 11 Mesembrinellidae (22.9%).
