Smiling underwater: Exploring playful signals and rapid mimicry in bottlenose dolphins.

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
Play is a widespread behavior present in phylogenetically distant taxa that, in its social form, relies on complex communication. Playful communication has been largely neglected in marine mammals. We focus on playful visual communication in bottlenose dolphins. The open mouth (OM) display was mainly emitted during social than during solitary play and occurred more frequently when the sender was in the receiver's field of view, suggesting that animals are attentive to the playmate's attentional state. Detecting an OM evoked the same facial display in the receiver, a result that strikingly matches with those obtained on cooperative social primates and carnivores. It is difficult to know whether such similarities derive from shared evolutionary pathways (
