Opsin gene expression plasticity and spectral sensitivity in male damselflies could mediate female colour morph detection.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The visual systems of Odonata are characterized by many opsin genes, which form the primary light-sensitive photopigments of the eye. Female-limited colour polymorphisms are also common in Odonata, with one morph typically exhibiting male-like (androchrome) coloration and one or two morphs exhibiting female-specific coloration (gynochromes). These colour polymorphisms are thought to be maintained by frequency-dependent sexual conflict, in which males form search images for certain morphs, causing disproportionate mating harassment. Here, we investigate opsin sensitivity and gene expression plasticity in mate-searching males of the damselfly
