Environmental perturbations induce correlations in midge swarms.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Although collectively behaving animal groups often show large-scale order (such as in bird flocks), they need not always (such as in insect swarms). It has been suggested that the signature of collective behaviour in disordered groups is a residual long-range correlation. However, results in the literature have reported contradictory results as to the presence of long-range correlation in insect swarms, with swarms in the wild displaying correlation but those in a controlled laboratory environment not. We resolve these apparently incompatible results by showing that the external perturbations generically induce the emergence of correlations. We apply a range of different external stimuli to laboratory swarms of the non-biting midge
