Fecal progesterone metabolite dynamics in relation to reproductive status in captive female golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana).
Article in Primates; journal of primatology, 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
The golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is an endangered primate endemic to China, for which captive breeding is a vital conservation strategy. However, effective management is hindered by the difficulty in detecting pregnancy. This study evaluated fecal progesterone metabolite (fPM) profiles and investigated factors associated with fPM concentrations in six captive females. fPM concentrations showed a gestational rise followed by a rapid postpartum decline. In this dataset, pregnant observations ranged from 217.91 to 4280.91 ng/g, whereas non-pregnant observations ranged from 2.75 to 132.36 ng/g. These ranges are specific to the assay and animals examined in this study and are not proposed as diagnostic cutoffs. A linear mixed-effects model showed significant effects of reproductive status and season, but the reproductive status × season interaction was not significant. Exploratory analyses suggested higher fPM concentrations in adult than in subadult females, whereas parity was not significantly associated with fPM concentrations. These findings indicate that repeated fPM measurements can provide supplementary information for reproductive management in captive R. roxellana, with broader longitudinal sampling needed to refine interpretation across individuals and reproductive stages.
