Comparing Nutrient Intake by Wolf Spiders (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Herbivores and omnivores have been shown to regulate their intake of nutrients to a balance that maximizes fitness. Predators were traditionally believed to have less need for dietary regulation than herbivores, given the higher nutritional quality of animal tissue compared to plants. However, some predators, like spiders, may feed on diverse prey that could vary substantially in nutrient content and, hence, their potential quality as food items. This study compared the nutrient intake of Carolina wolf spiders (
