Proximate mechanisms underlying the coevolution of diet quality and relative brain size in primates.
Article in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Multiple primate species, including humans, have evolved brains that are surprisingly large relative to their body sizes. Studies of this variation have focused on either proximate (how) or ultimate (why) explanations by correlating species-average brain sizes with, e.g. the rate of genetic changes or certain socioecological variables, respectively. Here, we combined proximate and ultimate perspectives to identify genes that modulated the coevolutionary relationship between diet quality and relative brain size in primates. For
