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

Khatasa Protected Forest is one of the protected forests found in Awi Zone, Amhara Regional State that has been protected since 1994. The study on home range and habitat use of Colobus monkey (Colobus guereza) was carried out from January 2021 to August 2021. For this purpose, ranging data were collected from the focal animal group, and following for continuous periods at regular intervals of 10 min. This study was carried out in combination with feeding and habitat use of focal animal samples. During the observation of focal animals in each group, location of troops were recorded using GPS in every 10 min until the follow was concluded. The values from the map were calculated by using measuring tools in the GIS software ArcGIS 10.8. Data on habitat use and feeding were collected in using a scan sampling starting from early morning 7:00 to 12:00 h and in the afternoon from 14:00 to 18:00 h throughout study period. The ranging ecology of Colobus monkey in the study area was characterized by a mean daily range length of (207.13 m, SE ± 10.14) in the study. The highest mean daily range length was recorded during the dry season mainly in March (281 m, SE ± 16.33) while the lowest mean daily range length was recorded during the wet season mainly in July (147 m, SE ± 6.45). In regarding to habitat use/feeding, colobus consumed nearly 15 plant species in Khatasa Protected Forest. Among the plant species Albizia Schimeperiana and Apodytes dimidiate had contributed to high proportion of the diet of Colobus monkey, which were (33.25%) and (12.85%), respectively. The variation in type of plant species consumed in the study period showed a significance difference (χ2=49, df=1, p=0.05) between dry and wet seasons. Determine the ranging and feeding ecology of Colobus monkey in dry and wet seasons in this protected area would enable to take conservation actions.
