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

Understanding species range dynamics is central to ecology and biogeography, particularly as global environmental change accelerates range shifts, expansions, and biological invasions. Carnivores are notable for their capacity to exploit human-modified landscapes, yet most research has focused on temperate regions where apex predator extirpation often facilitates expansion. By contrast, carnivore range expansions in tropical landscapes remain poorly documented. Here we assess the recent southward expansion of coyotes (
