1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Many passerines have elaborated songs hypothesized to have evolved through sexual selection. Extra-pair mating can be a contributing factor in the evolution of complex songs by increasing the variance in male fitness. We investigated this by quantifying the relationship between male song performance and complexity and levels of paternity loss through extra-pair mating by their female mates in the grass wren (
