Breathing with a mouth full of eggs: respiratory consequences of mouthbrooding in cardinalfish.

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
Mouthbrooding occurs among several groups of fishes. Although a mouth full of eggs can be expected to pose a considerable respiratory problem, to our knowledge no study has examined respiratory consequences of mouthbrooding in fishes, or how hypoxia or strenuous swimming may affect the success of this reproductive strategy. In two species of cardinalfish (Apogon fragilis and Apogon leptacanthus), from the reef at Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef), we found that mouthbrooding significantly reduced the ability to take up oxygen at low ambient oxygen levels. While the direct energetic cost of mouthbrooding appeared insignificant at rest in well-oxygenated water, mouthbrooding significantly reduced the respiratory scope of the fishes and their capacity for sustained aerobic swimming. The males spat out their eggs in hypoxia. Interestingly, the species with the larger brood, A. fragilis, spat out the brood at a higher water [O2] than did A. leptacanthus, which had a smaller mean brood mass. Moreover, in contrast to mouthbrooding A. leptacanthus, mouthbrooding A. fragilis was unable to increase its ventilatory frequency in response to hypoxia. This suggests a trade-off situation between hypoxia tolerance and brood size. Apparently, A. fragilis has sacrificed hypoxia tolerance in favour of a large brood size to a greater extent than has A. leptacanthus.
