Phenotypic plasticity co-varies with elevational range in two avian species of elevational migrants in the Himalayas.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. 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
Montane birds represent a large proportion of global avian biodiversity and are highly sensitive to seasonal climatic shifts. Many montane species undertake elevational migration in response to seasonal climate change, but how they cope with disparate environmental pressures along the elevational gradient is poorly understood. Here, we investigate phenotypic plasticity in two closely related elevational migrants that differ in their seasonal movements (small-scale vs. large-scale elevational migrants). Through common-garden experiments with adult male birds of these species, we compared gene and protein expression plasticity in response to changes in temperature and partial pressure of oxygen (PO
