Farming Behavior by the Large Hawk-Cuckoo Toward the Silver-Eared Mesia and Black-Streaked Scimitar Babbler.

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
Brood parasites improve their reproductive success by offloading the costs of incubation and chick-rearing onto host species. This interaction often triggers an evolutionary arms race between increasingly deceptive brood parasites and increasingly defensive hosts. According to the farming hypothesis, when suitable host nests are limited, some parasitic birds may destroy unsuitable host nests through "Farming behavior" to induce re-nesting, thereby creating new opportunities for parasitism. Despite its potential significance, this behavior has been documented in only a few brood-parasitic species. In 2024, in Jindong County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, southwestern China, we successfully captured video evidence of Farming behavior by the Large Hawk-cuckoo (
