Fish can use coordinated fin motions to recapture their own vortex wake energy.
Article in Royal Society open science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
During swimming, many fishes use pectoral fins for propulsion and, in the process, move substantial amounts of water rearward. However, the effect that this upstream wake has on the caudal fin remains largely unexplored. By coordinating motions of the caudal fin with the pectoral fins, fishes have the potential to create constructive flow interactions which may act to partially recapture the upstream energy lost in the pectoral fin wake. Using experimentally derived velocity and pressure fields for the silver mojarra (
