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

The eastern swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii ranjitsinhi), a vulnerable cervid subspecies, is currently restricted to only Kaziranga and Manas National Parks in Assam, India. Extensive hunting and poaching during the 1980s civil unrest reduced its Manas population to fewer than 20 individuals. To reinforce the remnant population, 36 individuals were translocated from Kaziranga to Manas between 2014 and 2017. Post-translocation monitoring from 2017 to 2023, using systematic scan sampling and block count methods, revealed that the eastern swamp deer population increased to 174 individuals, achieving an ecological density of 1.65 individuals per km
