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

Extreme heat weather events can lead to energy deficits by increasing thermoregulatory energy costs while reducing energy intake because of limits to dissipating the metabolic heat generated by foraging activity. Understanding the consequences of exposure to extreme heat is increasingly important under ongoing climate warming. We measured acceleration forces using collar-mounted loggers to gain indices of activity and energy expenditure in grey-headed flying-foxes (
