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

Increased demand for arable land and pastures is a key driver of deforestation in the tropics. Arboreal primates are particularly threatened by deforestation, and although many primate species are restricted to undisturbed natural forests, some can persist in anthropogenic habitats such as plantations and agroforests. In this study, we conducted passive acoustic surveys for galagos (Family: Galagidae) in 38 cocoa agroforests in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. We trained a YOLOv5 convolutional neural network model using a dataset of galago vocalisations from across sub-Saharan Africa to enable automatic detection of galago calls. Despite a high rate of false-positive detections (95%), our galago detector model confirmed the presence of at least one species of western dwarf galago (
