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

Factors determining habitat variability are poorly understood despite possible explanations based on genome and physiology. This is because previous studies only focused on primary measures such as genome size and body size. In this study, we hypothesize that specific gene functions determine habitat variability in order to explore new factors beyond primary measures. We comprehensively evaluate the relationship between gene functions and the climate envelope while statistically controlling for potentially confounding effects by using data on the habitat range, genome, body size and metabolism of various mammals. Our analyses show that the number of proteins and RNAs contained in exosomes is predominantly associated with the climate envelope. This finding indicates the importance of exosomes to habitat range expansion of mammals and provides a new hypothesis for the relationship between the genome and habitat variability.
