Diet and Prey Preference of Tigers (

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
Assessing the diet of apex predators such as tiger is important, as it provides key ecological information on prey availability and preferences. It helps to understand the effects of conservation strategy and secure the long-term survival of tigers in the area. In this research, we identified the diet composition of tigers via DNA metabarcoding and microscopy analysis of scat samples collected during the dry season of 2024 in Nepal's Chitwan National Park and Buffer Zone area. The scat analysis showed spotted deer dominated the tiger diet, comprising the highest frequency and percentage of occurrences in scats with greater relative biomass consumed. No trace of livestock was detected in the scats analyzed. Specifically, tigers preferred medium-sized prey (e.g., hog deer, wild boar, and spotted deer). The study identified seven prey species in the tiger diet analyzed through DNA metabarcoding and microscopic hair analysis; however, the type and proportion of their contents varied between the methods. The diet composition of tigers in the national park comprised a significantly higher number of species (
