Experimental Manipulation of Polyandry in a Marine Gastropod Reveals How the Number of Mates Affects Reproductive Output, Offspring Size, and the Distribution of Paternity Within Broods.

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
Polyandry, where females mate with multiple males, often mediates how ecological and evolutionary forces shape populations, with various explanations for why it occurs. However, these explanations often stem from separate studies on model species, field observations, or lab experiments. Given polyandry's potential context-dependent effects, it is crucial to design studies that concurrently test multiple hypotheses within wild populations. Therefore, we conducted two experiments over 2 years that experimentally manipulated the number of males a female mates with in the marine gastropod, the Florida crown conch (
