1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A central challenge in ecology is understanding how closely related species coexist, and sister species-with which they share a closely related evolutionary history-provide a powerful system for testing niche overlap and segregation. For fossorial organisms, the relative role of climate and soil in shaping distributions remains unclear, despite their potential to drive habitat suitability and species interactions underground. Here, we examine factors driving coexistence of two sister species of worm lizards,
