The evolution of the concepts of 'primate culture' in Western science.
Review in Primates; journal of primatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
While most scholars across the social and biological sciences acknowledge that human culture is distinctive in the comparative context there is widespread acknowledgment that some form of culture does occur in other animals, including in many species of primates. Here we outline key historical patterns and the changes in primatology and the behavioural sciences regarding the concepts of primate culture. In the contemporary moment new methods and approaches are emerging as the field of inquiry matures. Our assessment is that continued and expanded inclusion of methods and theory from both the social and the natural sciences is beneficial, and that a further development of a form of primate ethnology for the comparison and analysis of primate cultures is needed. With a better understanding of the complexities of the primate cultural dynamic, scientists may better be able to model their evolutionary dynamics and consider aspects of primate cultures in conservation action.
