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

Biotic invasions represent one of the leading environmental threats, with non-native mammals being particularly damaging to native biodiversity on oceanic islands. One way that such damages may occur is through the disruption of frugivory, a fundamental process for plant reproduction and healthy ecosystem function. To investigate such disruptions, we explored (1) the magnitude of non-native mammalian frugivore activity, (2) whether it affects native frugivory interaction rates, and (3) which local, biotic, biogeographic, and socio-economic factors best predict non-native mammal frugivory levels. We used artificial fruits and camera traps to measure native and non-native frugivory interactions on 13 islands in the eastern Caribbean, an important biological hotspot. Overall, we found that non-native
