Stunned by a Heatwave: Experimental Heatwaves Alter Juvenile Responsiveness to the Threat of Predation.

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
Heatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this can directly influence fitness and survival. Changes in anti-predator behaviour are particularly critical, as they may compromise a prey's ability to evade predators, thus increasing predation risk and jeopardising survival. In the context of climate change, assessing anti-predator reactions under ecologically relevant heat stress is thus crucial, especially during the vulnerable life stage of development. This study investigated the effects of a heatwave on anti-predator responses in juvenile guppies (
