Why Size Does Not Matter: Sex Driven Home Range Differences in Brown Bears.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sex, body size and environmental conditions are key determinants of home range size in large mammals, yet their relative importance within populations remains unclear for many wide-ranging carnivores such as brown bears. This study combined GPS-collar data and detailed morphometrics from 69 free-ranging brown bears (46 males, 23 females) in Türkiye to test how home range size relates to sex, body mass, and body dimensions. Individual home ranges were estimated using 95% minimum convex polygon (MCP95) and kernel utilisation distribution methods, and the MCP95 area was log-transformed and analysed with linear models that included sex, log body mass, representative linear size measures, sampling effort covariates, and principal component scores derived from a multivariate analysis of eight morphometric traits. Home range size varied markedly among individuals (5.1-203.9 km
