Nephila edulis-breeding and care under laboratory conditions.
Article in Development genes and evolution, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Due to fascinating mechanical and biological characteristics spider silk is of great interest in many research fields. Among the orb-weavers Nephila edulis is one of the species used as source for natural spider silk in laboratories. Under appropriate conditions, animals can be kept and bred easily. This manuscript gives information about the spiders' natural habitat, behavior, and breeding and compares them with the established methods and conditions within a research laboratory. Keeping conditions and methods of rearing are described in detail. Within a keeping facility with reliable supply of food, cannibalism rate is significantly reduced and spiders mate all year long. Cohabitants of the genus Steatoda are routinely found in laboratory keeping. While these small spiders do not pose a threat to Nephila edulis, cellar spiders (family Pholcidae) have to be extracted as they have been observed hunting for Nephila spiders.
