Climatic Variability Threatens Population Growth and Persistence of a Declining Grassland Songbird.
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 2 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
Determining the factors responsible for population change in threatened populations and the degree to which changing climates might put those populations at risk is one of the most pressing roles of conservation science. In the climatically variable grasslands of North America, songbirds are rapidly declining, and widespread habitat loss alone does not fully explain these declines. Theory predicts that increased variability in population growth rate, which could be generated by increased variability in weather conditions, should result in lower population sizes. We tested whether increasing variability in weather could have driven recent declines in songbird population numbers using detailed demographic data collected between 2013 and 2021 from grasshopper sparrows (
