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

Anthropogenic habitat change is having a detrimental impact on biodiversity worldwide, altering the foraging behaviour and population dynamics of many species. Generalist species often adapt by broadening their resource use and/or exploiting human-modified environments. However, habitat changes that reduce the availability of good quality resources can lead to increased interspecific competition among sympatric species and increased conflict with human activities. We investigated the breeding season foraging ecology of three sympatric gull species, Lesser Black-backed (
