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
Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication often with hybridization, is common in eukaryotes and is thought to drive ecological and evolutionary success, especially in plants. The mechanisms of polyploid success in ecologically relevant contexts, however, remain largely unknown. We conducted an extensive test of functional trait divergence and plasticity in conferring polyploid fitness advantage in heterogeneous environments, by growing clonal replicates of a worldwide genotype collection of six allopolyploid and five diploid wild strawberry (Fragaria) taxa in three climatically different common gardens. Among leaf functional traits, we detected divergence in trait means but not plasticities between polyploids and diploids, suggesting that increased genomic redundancy in polyploids does not necessarily translate into greater trait plasticity in response to environmental change. Across the heterogeneous garden environments, however, polyploids exhibited fitness advantage, which was conferred by both trait means and adaptive trait plasticities, supporting a 'jack-and-master' hypothesis for polyploids. Our findings elucidate essential ecological mechanisms underlying polyploid adaptation to heterogeneous environments, and provide an important insight into the prevalence and persistence of polyploid plants.
