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
Animal dummies (sometimes called decoys or models) are widely used in ecological research to investigate predation, sexual selection, or social communication. The use of this method, however, is generally limited to small-bodied taxa, especially in predation studies. Yet, dummy prey could prove useful in understanding large carnivore behaviour, especially in situations where real-time observations and experimental approaches may be difficult. It is not known whether and to what extent large carnivores will recognise dummy prey as realistic in field experiments, which may hinder the development and funding of research using this method. In this study, we presented African lions ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10344-026-02135-2.
