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

Changing nutritional conditions pose challenges to developing organisms. Animals typically cope with such changes by adjusting their foraging, exploration or risk-taking behaviours. Notably, there exists considerable between-individual variation ('animal personality') in coping strategies. One dimension underlying such personality differences is whether animals cope actively or passively with stress. At present, we know little about how stress coping develops. Previous research found that house mice can adjust stress coping to food quality changes within three generations. However, understanding when during development such personality adjustments occur is crucial for understanding population dynamics in the wild. We tested experimentally how changes in food quality at different ontogenetic stages (fetus, newborn, weanling and late adolescent) affect personality development in non-domesticated cage-housed house mice (
