Reproductive Strategies in Paternal Care and Remarkably Low Paternity Level in a Giant Water Bug.
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
Reproductive strategies are crucial for organisms because they directly affect the organisms' fitness. "Parental care" is one of the strategies adopted by organisms to improve their fitness. However, even in the case of parental care, females often bear a large burden in raising offspring, and it is extremely rare for males to care for offspring alone ("paternal care"), especially among invertebrates. Offspring care results in fewer re-mating opportunities, resulting in a greater reproductive cost for males. Under such conditions, paternal care has evolved in males of several animal taxa. However, there is a lack of clarity on how paternal care behavior has evolved and how it is maintained. In this study, we allowed males and females of
