Parrot politics: social decision-making in wild parrots relies on both individual recognition and intrinsic markers.
Article in Royal Society open science, 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
Dominance hierarchies are generally thought to form over time via memory of repeated interactions. Yet dominance hierarchies are also occasionally reported in species with fission-fusion social dynamics, where individuals may encounter large numbers of individuals, leading to incomplete social information. In these cases, three potential mechanisms have been proposed. First, the complex decision-making required could increase selection for social cognition. Second, so-called 'badge-of-status' could evolve as shortcuts. Third, mixed strategies could evolve that rely on memory for interactions with familiars and status signals for strangers. Here, we test these hypotheses in wild sulphur-crested cockatoos (
