Flexibility of metabolic rate to temperature coincides with diapause strategy.
Article in Biology letters, 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
During dormancy, insects operate on a fixed energy budget and suppress metabolic rate to extend the duration that their energy reserves last. Extending energy stores to last an entire winter can pose a significant challenge, as some habitats have winters that last most of the year. There are cases where insects enter dormancy in mid-summer and remain until the following spring. This multi-season dormancy should pose an even more significant energetic challenge, since these insects must conserve energy during winter, as well as the warmest period of summer. We compared metabolic rate-temperature curves of two related species of pierid butterflies:
