No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (

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
Predators exert strong selective pressure on prey species, shaping their behavioral adaptations. Prey species use proactive responses, such as site selection and the adjustment of daily activity patterns to anticipate and avoid predation exposure. In contrast, reactive responses, including fleeing, referential signaling, and retaliation, occur after encountering a predator to mitigate the immediate predation risk. The presence of a predator in an area can also generate longer-term responses, such as reactive avoidance, defined here as the temporary avoidance of the area following the passage of a predator. Such a long-term reactive response remains understudied in primates. To investigate reactive avoidance, we analyzed an extensive camera trap data set of 3042 detections (defined here as a motion-triggered event of three pictures per trigger during the day and one picture at night) of both chacma (
