Time to grow up: the PETM climatic event favoured metamorphosing salamanders (Urodela, Salamandridae).
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 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
Currently, little is known about the early evolution and geographical origin of Salamandridae, the most species-rich family of Palearctic salamanders. The description of new fossil material from the early Palaeogene of the Paris Basin provides new insight into the history of amphibians and for the first time allows the inclusion of the oldest salamandrid taxa into a phylogenetic framework, based on a new morphology-based character matrix. By comparing the evolutionary trajectories of the two main Nearctic groups of Cenozoic amphibians, urodeles and anurans, it emerges that whereas frogs were hardly affected by the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), salamanders responded in Western Europe with a diversification event, corresponding to a spread of metamorphosing, likely terrestrial, salamandrids. Among Salamandridae, the Palaeocene
