Latent layers in social networks and their implications for comparative analyses.
Review in Behavioral ecology : official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Animal social systems are remarkably diverse, ranging from solitary individuals to well-connected cooperative groups. Understanding the drivers of this variation is a key question in behavioral ecology and has been the focus of numerous studies linking social structure to ecological, demographic, and life history patterns within groups, population, and species. Equipped with this information, researchers are now turning to investigations that are comparative in nature. However, comparing social networks remains a considerable logistical and analytical challenge. Here, we present the
