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

Gabon harbors one of Africa's richest assemblages of non-human primates (NHPs), yet integrated national-scale evidence on their conservation status remains limited. To inform conservation strategies, we conducted the first nationwide assessment integrating habitat dynamics, the geographic distribution of species, and the effectiveness of the protected-area network in the country. We harmonized 300 m land-cover maps (ESA CCI 1992; Copernicus 2022), compiled 481 georeferenced occurrences, and identified concentration areas using kernel density estimation and Getis-Ord Gi* analysis. We quantified land-cover transitions with a per-pixel transition matrix and assessed protected-area capture using Monte Carlo randomization. Ten fully protected species are confirmed, including
