The "Chameleon Ant"
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 3 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
Mimicry, where an organism (the mimic) convergently evolves traits resembling another (the model), is one of the most compelling phenomena in evolutionary biology. Despite ants frequently serving as models for Batesian mimics in other arthropod taxa, mimicry among ants is still underexplored. Rapid mimetic adaptations may superficially suggest a pathway to speciation; therefore, a thorough exploration of the phenomenon requires multivariate analyses. Consequently, we collected morphometric data from
