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 African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and illegal trade. In 2022, Chubu University and the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre-Conservation Area (UWEC-CA) have initiated an ex-situ conservation project for rehabilitation and future reintroduction. Noninvasively genetic sampling was conducted using feces from four parrots at UWEC-CA and naturally shed feathers from 22 parrots at 11 Japanese zoos. Non-invasive genetic sampling enabled reliable sex identification and mitochondrial sequencing of parrots in Uganda and Japan. Phylogenetic analysis revealed two major clades, including a Gabon-associated lineage within which all UWEC-CA parrots clustered, providing baseline genetic context relevant to ex-situ conservation management and evidence-based reintroduction.
