Developmental bias predicts 60 million years of wing shape evolution.

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
The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate. Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, i.e., the propensity of developmental systems to create some phenotypic variants more often than others, and show that it predicts phenotypic and standing genetic variation as well as deep macroevolutionary divergence in wing shape in sepsid flies. Comparing our data to the findings of a previous study demonstrates that developmental variability in the sepsid fly
