Sex-biased cooperation among immature peers: it matters who helps whom.
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 4 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
Our understanding of sex-biased helping has progressed from a historical emphasis on relatedness differences caused by haplodiploidy to an understanding of the role played by the rarer-sex effect. Theory to date typically assumes that offspring help their mother. We show that an alternative, peer-to-peer cooperation can shed light on the interaction of helpers and the recipients of help.
