Extreme growth plasticity in the early branching sauropodomorph
Article in Biology letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
There is growing evidence of developmental plasticity in early branching dinosaurs and their outgroups. This is reflected in disparate patterns of morphological and histological change during ontogeny. In fossils, only the osteohistological assessment of annual lines of arrested growth (LAGs) can reveal the pace of skeletal growth. Some later branching non-bird dinosaur species appear to have followed an asymptotic growth pattern, with declining growth rates at increasing ontogenetic ages. By contrast, the early branching sauropodomorph
