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

Wildlife behavior studies have provided vital information towards understanding the natural histories of wildlife species and identified crucial components regarding their habitat and metabolic needs. For many species, typical behavioral data are collected using diurnal scans that have limitations in both when and where the data can be collected, ultimately leading to biases in behavioral patterns. With technological and analytical advancements of radiotechnology, behavior data can be collected more often and over larger spatial scales than with traditional methods. This study compares the behavioral time budget estimates between two different observational methods: ground-truthed diurnal scanning observations and 24-h tri-axial accelerometer (ACC) GPS/GSM transmitter data that were classified using machine learning. We used the time budgets produced from the two methodologies and calculated the daily energy expenditure (DEE) for wintering Lesser Scaup (
