Higher Sex-Reversal Rate of Urban Frogs in a Common-Garden Experiment Suggests Adaptive Microevolution.
Article in Evolutionary applications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ectothermic vertebrates with genotypic sex determination may adjust their sexual phenotype to early-life environmental conditions by sex reversal, and theoretical models predict diverse consequences for population dynamics and microevolution under environmental change. Environments that frequently expose individuals to sex-reversing effects may select for or against the propensity to undergo sex reversal, depending on the relative fitness of sex-reversed individuals. Yet, empirical data on the adaptive value and evolutionary potential of sex reversal is scarce. Here we conducted a common-garden experiment with agile frogs (
