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

Explosive detection canine (EDC) teams are widely used to find explosives and protect public safety, but training practices and standards vary across agencies/organizations. This study investigated how EDC handlers train their dogs, their familiarity with national standards, and what challenges they face in preparing for effective operation. Data from a nationwide survey of handlers (102 unique responses, 62 complete), across 29 states, and in-depth interviews were conducted during two field evaluations of the ANSI/ASB Standard 092
