Fighting-related injuries do not affect mate choice in the giant mesquite bug,

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
Females often choose high-quality mates as they may confer benefits to the female. One way male quality may decline is due to the injuries that they can acquire during male-male combat. Females might assess males based on injury since injuries place energic demands on the body that could reduce their reproductive output. Thus, females might make mating decisions based on whether males have acquired these fighting-related injuries. Here, we tested this injury-mediated female mate choice hypothesis using the giant mesquite bug,
