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

Male fiddler crabs own an enlarged claw which is a weapon and an ornament. The enlargement of this claw begins from the juvenile stage and continues throughout life. Males may voluntarily lose (i.e., autotomize) this claw. After several molts males may regenerate a new claw, called leptochelous, which acquires a similar length but a lower muscle mass area than the original one, called brachychelous. In some species, regenerated claws develop permanently as leptochelous, the population having 2 discrete claw morphologies. Other species present morphological variations with leptochelous and brachychelous being 2 ends of a continuum. In the species
