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 increasing number of human-black bear interactions in Nepal's Himalayas threatens both livelihoods and bear safety. Understanding human-black bear coexistence has become increasingly important due to rising conflicts driven by habitat overlap, negative perceptions, and habitat degradation. Given the limited studies on the Asiatic Black bear in Nepal, particularly in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, our research provides essential insights into its distribution, conflict patterns, and community perceptions. This study assessed the habitat suitability of Asiatic black bears and human-black bear coexistence in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Nepal, using integrated ecological modelling and social analysis. We collected species presence data (
