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

Many plants express their female and male sex roles at different times (dichogamy), with important consequences for mating. Dichogamy can yield mate limitation via biased floral sex ratios, particularly at the beginning and end of the flowering season when many plants simultaneously function as the same sex. This form of mate limitation should be reduced if plants adjust their allocations to female versus male sex functions in a manner that tracks seasonal variability in mating opportunities. For example, under protogyny (i.e. dichogamy with female function expressed first) plants with male-biased sex expression should have enhanced mating opportunities early in the flowering season as other plants begin to flower (in female sex phase). We quantified seasonal changes in sex allocation, patterns of mate availability and realized siring success in a population of protogynous
