Effects of Road Interactions on Mate-Searching Movements and Mate Location Success in an Imperiled Pit Viper (
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 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
For many species, male mate-searching movements are among the primary determinants of mate location success, and males often incur significant risks associated with elevated movement during reproductive seasons. In an increasingly human-modified world, this often includes more frequent interactions with anthropogenic landscape features, such as roadways. While road mortality represents the most direct and easily measured cost of road interactions, pervasive indirect or sub-lethal costs could carry significant fitness consequences that are more difficult to quantify. We leveraged radio telemetry and accelerometry monitoring to explore the associations between seasonal movement strategies, mate location success, and road interactions in Timber Rattlesnakes (
