Host Disease Tolerance Predicts Transmission Probability for a Songbird Pathogen.
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 4 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
Disease tolerance reduces the per-pathogen fitness costs of infection for hosts and is an important component of host adaptation to pathogens. However, how disease tolerance affects host transmission potential is not well understood, especially because there are many potential mechanisms that facilitate host tolerance. For example, tissue-specific host tolerance leads to the reduction of host pathology, regardless of pathogen load. Hosts may also exhibit behavioral tolerance, where normal behaviors are maintained even while harboring high pathogen loads. Here, we examined the impacts that tissue-specific and behavioral tolerance have on transmission in house finches (
