Proximity to Humans Reduces Distance to Foraging Sites by Aardvarks.
Article in Zoological studies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aardvarks change the ecosystem through digging for food and shelter thus providing habitats for various animals in sub-Saharan Africa. We determined use of the landscape and foraging behaviour of aardvarks in a communal area. We aged and quantified aardvark foraging burrows and dens in the dry, wet and early dry seasons of 2020 and 2021 in Ncunjane village of KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. We used 50 m × 10 m belt transects to quantify aardvark foraging burrows in each site of aardvark activity. For each aardvark foraging burrow, we determined age and measured the maximum depth and two perpendicular lengths on the ground surface. We recorded numbers of active dens, active and inactive entrances for each den, distances between active entrances of a den and size of the den. We recorded any animal activity or trace (
