Patterns of seasonal plasticity in evaporative water loss and preferred temperature in three geckos of the wet-dry tropics.
Article in Oecologia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Seasonal physiological plasticity (acclimatisation) facilitates homeostasis in changing environments and has been studied extensively with respect to thermal biology and metabolism. Less is known about seasonal changes in evaporative water loss (EWL) in response to changing water availability and humidity. The wet-dry tropics of northern Australia experience moderate seasonal temperature changes, but substantial changes in rainfall and humidity. We studied three gecko species (Amalosia rhombifer, Heteronotia binoei and Hemidactylus frenatus) in the wet and dry seasons with respect to their EWL, preferred body temperatures (T
