Range expansion during recolonization: what does animal personality have to do with it?
Article in Behavioral ecology : official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
At the edge of an ongoing expansion, pioneer individuals encounter novel ecological and evolutionary pressures that may not be experienced by conspecifics settled in long-colonized areas. Consistent behavioral differences among conspecifics (animal personality) may be important determinants of individuals' successful colonization of novel environments and range expansion. By enhancing an individual's ability to find food and shelter as well as increasing its capacity to navigate novel environments, behavioral traits such as exploration and risk-taking are thus expected to be more highly expressed in populations undergoing expansion than in established populations. We investigated among-individual variation in behaviors associated to risk-taking and exploratory tendencies in populations of small mammals during different stages of the colonization process. Using a standardized behavioral test in the field, we quantified exploration and boldness of striped field mice (
