Short-term stressors and corticosterone effects on immunity in male toads (
Article in Brain, behavior, & immunity - health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In the last decades, it is growing the idea that stress-induced immunomodulation is bimodal: with acute stress associated with enhancing effects while chronic stress with suppressive effects. However, the immune-endocrine interactions and its implications are often overlooked in ectotherms. We investigated the impact of corticosterone (CORT) treatment and short-term stressors on CORT plasma levels and the immunity of male toads (
