Effects of selfing and outcrossing on transgenerational responses to predation risk.
Article in Oecologia, 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
Phenotypic plasticity, an organism's ability to change traits in response to its environment, can improve an individual's fitness by promoting a phenotype better suited for current environmental conditions. Phenotypic expression can be altered by direct experiences (i.e., within-generation plasticity) or experiences of previous generations (i.e., transgenerational plasticity). Transgenerational plasticity can help offspring overcome environmental stressors, such as predation, using epigenetic information from their parent(s). Offspring typically receive information from two parents though simultaneous hermaphrodites can produce offspring with varied contributions of epigenetic information by reproducing via outcrossing or self-fertilization (i.e., selfing). While the impact of predation on transgenerational effects has been described, the relative influence of epigenetic information from one or two parental sources is unknown. This study aimed to determine how transgenerational epigenetic effects of predation risk are influenced by selfing and outcrossing. Physid snails were collected and reared over two generations to evaluate anti-predator behavior and shell morphology. The F
