Mating reconciles fitness and fecundity by switching diet preference in flies.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Protein-rich diets shorten lifespan but increase fecundity in many organisms. Animals actively adjust their feeding behavior to meet their nutritional requirements. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the dynamic regulation of protein consumption remain unclear. Here we find that both sexes of fruit flies exhibit a preference for protein food before mating to prepare for reproduction. Mated female flies display an increased appetite for yeast to benefit their offspring, albeit at the cost of stress resistance and lifespan. In contrast, males show a momentarily reduced yeast appetite after mating likely to restore their fitness. This mating state-dependent switch between sexes is mediated by a sexually dimorphic neural circuit labeled with leucokinin in the anterior brain. Furthermore, intermittent yeast consumption benefits both the lifespan and fecundity of males, while maximizing female fecundity without compromising lifespan.
