Predicting Hunting Trends: The Effect of Pelt Prices, Urbanization and Weather on the Hunting/Trapping of Twelve Small Fur-Bearing Animals in Wisconsin, 1930-2018.

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
This study examines structural features that may impact the hunting/trapping of small, fur-bearing animals over time. The prior literature suggests a relationship between species, ecological and human well-being that renders hunting trends of social interest. In that view, factors affecting hunting trends have policy relevance related to how species maintenance/health affects ecosystems and human well-being. This study employs data on twelve fur-bearing species taken by hunting/trapping in Wisconsin from 1930 to 2018. Prior research has identified several predictors of hunting trends (e.g., pelt prices, snow and rainfall amounts, temperature, gasoline prices and urbanization). Controlling for the effect of the prior level of hunting, few exogenous factors predicted species-specific hunting trends in Wisconsin. Macro-factors predicted that hunting trends are outside the control of wildlife regulators and may require innovative strategies to address. The results suggest that some omitted processes may be better predictors of hunting trends.
