Morphofunctional Spaces from the Astragalus: Exploring Angular Excursions and Mechanical Efficiency in
Article in Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The astragalus is a key biomechanical link between the autopodium and limb in mammals, modulating stability and mobility during stance. Its morphology provides reliable proxies for inferring posture, body mass, and locomotor behavior in extinct taxa. Mesotheriids (Notoungulata, Mesotheriidae) have traditionally been regarded as fossorial generalists, yet their functional diversity remains poorly tested. The astragali of
