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

Dung beetles are important ecosystem engineers as they play an important role in recycling faces from animals. Dung beetles have evolved different behaviors, including dung ball rolling for their egg and developing offspring. Ball rolling is a complex behavior that varies between species. In some species, males roll the dung ball and females choose partners based on this, while in other species, males and females work together to form the ball. Competition can be fierce with fighting, and ball stealing is common.
