The Evolutionary Loss of Paternal Care Is Associated With Shifts in Female Life-History Traits.
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
Parental care can increase the fitness of parents through increased offspring survival but can also reduce reproductive output by limiting time and energy allocated to additional mating opportunities. The evolutionary origin of parental care is often associated with shifts in life-history traits (e.g., high investment in few, large offspring, slow offspring growth), but little is known about whether the evolutionary
