Strategic third-party interventions in feral ungulate affiliation.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Third-party interventions in agonistic behaviour play a key role in the maintenance of social relationships, but very little is known about how interventions in affiliation affect the distribution of sociality within a group. Social context affects behaviour investment and partner choice, with audience effects, bystander dynamics and interventions allowing animals to strategically manipulate the behaviour of others and protect their own social bonds by impeding bonding attempts. We examined the relationships between ongoing allogrooming and bystanders in feral cattle (
