Different Maternal Quality Aspects Covary With the Offspring Sex Ratio and Condition in Bearded Reedlings (

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
In addition to the intrinsic genetic quality of the parents, the differential allocation of maternal investment in offspring is recognized as a crucial determinant of offspring fitness. Sex allocation theory posits that females should adjust their brood sex ratio in response to the varying benefits associated with increased maternal investment in sons versus daughters. This differential allocation may occur in direct relation to the mother's condition or in relation to the attractiveness or quality of their social mate or extra-pair mates. In this study, we investigate whether the intrinsic quality of the mother, her social or extra-pair mate, influences the offspring sex ratio and offspring residual body mass of the socially monogamous bearded reedling (
