Eye catching light: Anthropogenic light at night and its evolutionary influence on the avian eye.
Article in iScience, 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
Variation among avian species in their responses to artificial night lighting was recently linked to differences in dim light vision, but whether dim light vision is under selection from human-caused night lighting is unexplored. Here, we approximated dim light vision using eye geometries from museum specimens of six species collected across 100+ years and sought to determine whether proxies for artificial night lighting were related to within-species variation in dim light vision. We found variation in dim light vision was strongly linked to artificial night lighting proxies for three species and weakly linked for a forth, but the relationship varied by species. This variation is likely related to differences in ecological traits and may also reflect whether artificial night lighting facilitates increased temporal activity or results in physiological costs for each species. These results suggest that altered sensory environments are likely a source of selection shaping the sensory abilities of animals in the anthropocene.
