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

Classifying the foraging mode of a species is challenging and is usually assessed through movement-based indices. Without considering what motivates movement, these indices may result in a biased interpretation of foraging mode-overlooking the fact that movement is influenced by multiple biological factors and not solely foraging. Conversely, while attack-based indices provide a more informative assessment of foraging mode because behavior is incorporated, the most comprehensive and reliable assessments should incorporate both movement- and attack-based indices. We applied a combination of movement- and attack-based indices to reevaluate foraging mode in chameleons, using
