1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Classic population regulation theories usually concern the influence of immediate factors on current populations, but studies investigating the effect of parental environment factors on their offspring populations are scarce. The maternal environments can affect offspring life-history traits across generations, which may affect population dynamics and be a mechanism of population regulation. In cyclical parthenogens, sexual reproduction is typically linked with dormancy, thereby providing a negative feedback to population growth. In this study, we manipulated population sex ratios in the mother's environment to investigate whether this factor affected future population dynamics by regulating offspring sexual reproduction in the rotifer
