Beyond Social Media: Curated Monitoring Footage as a Biodiversity Information Source for Conservation.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Timely and reliable information on species occurrence and distribution is essential for biodiversity conservation, but conventional surveys are often limited by incomplete spatial coverage, high costs, and infrequent updates. These limitations are particularly relevant for medium- and large-sized mammals, whose distributions may respond rapidly to human disturbance and land-use change. Here, we evaluated the potential of long-term, curated mass-media records to support biodiversity knowledge by analyzing The Eyes of the Secret Land (TESL), a Chinese television program based mainly on infrared camera-trap footage collected across protected areas in China. We extracted mammal records from 1829 episodes broadcast between 2019 and 2024 and compared media-exposed species richness patterns with official provincial biodiversity data using Spearman rank correlation. TESL documented 118 mammal species, including 42 nationally protected and 52 IUCN-threatened species. Media-exposed species richness was positively correlated with official richness at the provincial level (ρ = 0.68,
