Repeated experimental challenges do not shorten adult telomeres in a songbird.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 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
Responding to environmental challenges can have both positive and negative effects on fitness, but the mechanisms and/or biomarkers underlying these links are not well understood. Telomeres-repetitive sections of DNA that form protective caps at chromosome ends, which enhance genome integrity and often predict organismal lifespan-may be important in this context. Some evidence suggests that stress exposure shortens telomeres, but most studies are correlational and/or conducted during early life; thus, how stress exposure influences telomeres in adulthood is not well known. Here, we experimentally exposed wild-captured adult house sparrows (
