Is Early Life Adversity Associated With Adult Stress in a Wild Rodent?
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
The period before sexual maturity is a sensitive life stage where most development and change occur. Studies in humans and other animals show that early adverse experiences contribute to poor health and survival. However, the mechanisms are still unclear. Some have found that early life adversity (ELA) can lead to elevated glucocorticoids later in life, dysregulate the stress response, and increase the impact of later stressors. However, most animal studies have focused on individual stressors. Protecting wild populations that are exposed to multiple stressors requires a better understanding of the physiological consequences of several co-occurring stressors. We used a cumulative adversity index (CAI) to ask whether early adverse experiences were associated with increased levels of adult fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) in wild female yellow-bellied marmots (
