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

Animal species exhibit a wide range of coloration and patterns, which are under strong selection and often linked to individual quality, influencing mate choice, recognition, signaling, and interspecific interactions such as predator avoidance. In amphibians, coloration can vary based on individual traits as well as environmental conditions, including the coloration of their environment. In this study, we described the dorsal coloration (body coloration reticulated by dark patches) in 676 Western spadefoot toads (
