Phenotypic and dispersal plasticity are not alternative strategies for organisms to face thermal changes.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
To buffer the effects of local environmental changes, organisms may modify their phenotypic traits (i.e. phenotypic plasticity) or disperse towards other potential habitats (i.e. dispersal plasticity). Despite extensive work studying either 'local phenotypic plasticity' or 'dispersal plasticity' independently, little is known about their potential covariation and interplay. These strategies are classically viewed as alternatives. However, this expectation has been challenged by theoretical work suggesting that they may instead evolve together under some environmental contexts. Here, we experimentally quantified morphological, movement and dispersal plasticity in response to thermal changes in 12 strains of the ciliate
