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

Mutualistic relation with ants is one of the leading features of aphid ecology. For some aphid species, it is a crucial association enhancing their survival capability, while the life mode of some others is completely independent of ants. It was broadly accepted that during the evolution of aphids, the ones relying on ants developed special morphological adaptations for this mutualism, the so-called trophobiotic organ. Its exact structuring, however, posed some explanatory difficulties because many non-myrmecophilous aphids had structural modifications accordant with the trophobiotic organ, while some myrmecophilous did not. Here we present an evaluation of the morphology of perianal structures in 25 non-myrmecophilous aphid species with reference to previous, similar studies on myrmecophilous species based on scanning electron microscopy. We conclude that the trophobiotic organ is an existing adaptation, but its definition requires revision.
