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

Pacific sea turtle populations primarily inhabit subtropical and tropical waters, making sightings at the edge of their range in colder high-latitude regions of the Canadian Pacific particularly uncommon and even rare. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of known occurrences in British Columbia waters from 1931 to 2024, featuring demographics, spatiotemporal distribution, and pathological findings. The dataset contains 247 sea turtle records from four species including 77 previously unpublished records. Leatherback sea turtles (
