A Delayed Response in the Area-Concentrated Search Can Improve Foraging Success.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Area-concentrated search (ACS) is a simple movement rule implying that an animal searches for resources using a "state-dependent correlated random walk." Accordingly, a forager increases its searching intensity by reducing the directionality of movement ("intensive search mode" or ISM) when it detects a resource item, but if it searches unsuccessfully for a while, it returns to a more straight-line movement to search for new resource locations elsewhere ("extensive search mode" or ESM). We propose a modified ACS, called delayed-response ACS (dACS), which is more efficient in resource collection than standard ACS. Instead of immediately switching from ESM to ISM when encountering a resource, as is done in standard ACS, an individual foraging in the dACS mode delays this switch by
