Regional and Temporal Differences in the Functionality of Facultative Vertebrate Scavenger Communities.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Carrion represents a nutrient-rich but ephemeral resource that plays a disproportionate role in ecosystem functioning by supporting scavenger communities and nutrient cycling. However, we lack understanding of how facultative vertebrate scavenger communities are structured across space and time. We examined the functionality of facultative vertebrate scavenger guilds on a regional and temporal scale using a dataset collected in protected areas in three geographical regions in the Netherlands (Veluwe, De Hamert Estate and KempenBroek). We assessed scavengers' functional roles-defined as species-specific contributions to carcass consumption-scavenger diversity, and carcass depletion times based on behavioural traits, feeding preferences, and carrion exploitation. Functional roles of facultative vertebrate scavengers were represented across the regions, although the occurrence of specific species was region-specific. In the Veluwe, scavenging behaviour of red fox (
