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

The measurement of stable isotope values of individual compounds, such as amino acids (AAs), has become a powerful tool in animal ecology and ecophysiology. As with any emerging technique, questions remain regarding the capabilities and limitations of this approach, including how metabolism and tissue synthesis impact the isotopic values of individual AAs and subsequent multivariate patterns. We measured carbon isotope (δ
