Not all social coral reef fishes form strict size-based dominance hierarchies: An investigation of intraspecific size ratios in Dascyllus aruanus.
Article in Journal of fish biology, 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
We present a random pattern of body size ratios between adjacent ranked group members in the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus. This random distribution of size ratios differs from the other well-known group-living coral reef fishes which exhibit non-random, well-defined and closely regulated size differences between ranks. Our results suggest a relaxation of social constraints in D. aruanus which may be due to its social system, mating system, capacity for movement or a combination thereof. Investigating how these traits co-vary within and among populations is an interesting avenue of future research.
