Do I Sound Sick? Condition-Dependent Advertisement Signals in Naturally Infected Frogs.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Males of many frog and toad species advertise in leks. In these systems, female choice is based on male advertisement calls, which have been selected to convey information about an individual's quality. As such, calling behavior is an important aspect of reproductive fitness. Factors such as disease and infection can affect calling behavior, yet the direction and strength of these effects, as well as their underlying mechanisms, remain unclear. Calls are typically multicomponent displays, and traits within these displays can vary independently from one another both among and within individuals. It is important to understand the proximate infection-imposed effects on signal production, as it allows us to make inferences about the downstream evolutionary consequences of such signaling. We studied the effects of
