Size-dependent variation in thermal tolerance among tropical bee species.

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
Thermal tolerance is a key determinant of an organism's ability to survive and adapt to environmental changes, particularly in ectothermic insects, which rely on ambient temperature for physiological regulation. While recent research has advanced our understanding of thermal tolerance in insects, particularly in temperate environments, the roles of sociality and morphological traits in shaping this tolerance remain poorly understood in tropical bee species. In this sense, bees exhibit diverse social structures and morphological variations, offering a valuable opportunity to explore how these factors affect thermal tolerance. Here, we examined whether sociality and body size explain variations in thermal tolerance across 43 bee species (five social species and 38 solitary species) inhabiting a coastal environment in Mexico. Our findings revealed that smaller bees tend to have broader thermal tolerance ranges, characterized by the differences between critical thermal maximum (CT
