Major histocompatibility complex class IIB disassortative mate choice in a genetically monogamous seabird.
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 1 paper.
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
Among species reproducing sexually, mating strategies represent a major component of individual fitness. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an extremely diverse set of genes responsible for immunological recognition and defence against pathogens. Although dissimilarity between mates at the major histocompatibility complex has been proposed to drive mate choice through increased offspring pathogen resistance, evidence is mixed. In addition, explorations of the role of the major histocompatibility complex in other mating strategies, such as divorce, are rare. We investigated whether dissimilarity at the major histocompatibility complex class IIB is associated with mate choice and divorce probability in the genetically monogamous black-legged kittiwake (
