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

Long-term variability in cetacean detection patterns in oceanic archipelagos remains poorly documented, limiting our understanding of temporal dynamics and their relevance for marine conservation and management. Here, we analysed an 18-year dataset (2004-2025) comprising 9275 cetacean detections collected from whale-watching platforms off south-western Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, NE Atlantic). Twenty cetacean species were detected, with odontocetes dominating the records, marked seasonal variability and recurrent detection of mother-calf groups of
