Environmental conditions modulate hermaphroditic pathways in Salpa thompsoni near the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Field observations during summer-fall of 2018 in the Antarctic Peninsula region provided the first morphological evidence that under certain environmental conditions, Salpa thompsoni blastozooid development can deviate from its traditional sequential protogynous hermaphroditism (SPH). Early male testis development at female blastozooid stages points to a wide-spread overlapping protogynous hermaphroditism (OPH) in regions where warm Antarctic Circumpolar Current waters mix with colder Antarctic Coastal waters. Our findings highlight the importance of the environmental setting in determining the reproductive pathway in S. thompsoni. OPH was observed in cooler and less productive waters, while SPH occured in both warmer and cooler productive waters. It appears that food availability may offset the effect of decreasing water temperatures for warm-water S. thompsoni reproductive development. It is plausible that OPH may permit the establishment of the S. thompsoni populations in the high Antarctic under the warming trend in the Southern Ocean by allowing for more efficient reproduction.
