Thermal sensitivity of metabolic rate mirrors biogeographic differences between teleosts and elasmobranchs.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
Environmental temperature affects physiological functions, representing a barrier for the range expansions of ectothermic species. To understand the link between thermal physiology and biogeography, a key question is whether among-species thermal sensitivity of metabolic rates is mechanistically constrained or buffered through physiological remodeling over evolutionary time. The former conception, the Universal Temperature Dependence hypothesis, predicts similar among- and within-species thermal sensitivity. The latter conception, the Metabolic Cold Adaptation hypothesis, predicts lower among-species thermal sensitivity than within-species sensitivity. Previous studies that tested these hypotheses for fishes overwhelmingly investigated teleosts with elasmobranchs understudied. Here, we show that among-species thermal sensitivity of resting metabolic rates is lower than within-species sensitivity in teleosts but not in elasmobranchs. Further, species richness declines with latitude more rapidly in elasmobranchs than in teleosts. Metabolic Cold Adaptation exhibited by teleosts might underpin their high diversity at high latitudes, whereas the inflexible thermal sensitivity approximated by Universal Temperature Dependence of elasmobranchs might explain their low diversity at high latitudes.
