Plate reduction in southern Japanese freshwater populations of threespine stickleback (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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 6 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
Adaptation to similar environments can lead to the evolution of similar phenotypes in phylogenetically independent lineages. However, the extent of parallel evolution often varies. Because such variations can be due to environmental heterogeneity among seemingly similar habitats, identification of the environmental factors that cause non-parallel patterns can provide valuable insight into the ecological factors associated with phenotypic diversification.
