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

Wildlife tourism is a globally expanding activity that acts as a double-edged sword, bringing benefits to communities and conservation while potentially affecting species behavior. However, habituation to tourists also serves as a catalyst for behavioral ecology research by allowing the observation of target species. In the Pantanal of Brazil and the Llanos of Colombia, jaguar-oriented tourism has made possible the recording of unprecedented behaviors. In this paper we present records of agonistic interactions between jaguars and two other wild cats, the puma and the ocelot, involving interspecific killing and intra-guild predation. We discuss the nature of these interactions and the role of wildlife tourism as a tool to unravel the behaviors of these elusive wild cats of the Americas.
