Ontogenetic progression of individual head size in the larvae of the beetle
Article in PeerJ, 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
The ontogenetic progression of insect larval head size has received much attention due to its fundamental and practical importance. However, although previous studies have analyzed the population mean head size, such an approach may not be appropriate for developmental studies of larval head sizes when the trajectory of individual head size growth is correlated with pre-molt head size and developmental stage. Additionally, there is covariation between the head and body sizes; however, few studies have compared the ontogenetic progression of individual head sizes with that of individual body sizes. In this investigation, the per-stage growth rates (PSGRs) for head width (HW) and cubic-rooted body mass at the beginning of each instar (body size, BS) were assessed in
