Landscapes of Biochemical Warfare: Spatial Self-Organization Woven from Allelopathic Interactions.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Evidence shows that diversity and spatial distributions of biological communities are largely driven by the race of living organisms in their adaptation to chemicals synthesized by their neighbors. In this report, the emergence of mathematical models on pure spatial self-organization induced by biochemical suppression (allelopathy) and competition between species were investigated through numerical analysis. For both random and patched initial spatial distributions of species, we demonstrate that warfare survivors are self-organized on the landscape in Turing-like patterns driven by diffusive instabilities of allelochemicals. These patterns are simple; either all species coexist at low diffusion rates or are massively extinct, except for a few at high diffusivities, but they are complex and biodiversity-sustained at intermediate diffusion rates. "Defensive alliances" and ecotones seem to be basic mechanisms that sustain great biodiversity in our hybrid cellular automata model. Moreover, species coexistence and extinction exhibit multi-stationarity.
