Divergent Functional Roles of Shredder Size: Interspecific Versus Intraspecific Effects on Aquatic Leaf Litter Decomposition.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. 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
Biodiversity underpins ecosystem functioning, and higher diversity of taxa and traits often enhances efficiency. However, such relationships may vary, as intraspecific variation-including differences across ontogenetic stages-can modulate a taxon's contribution to ecosystem functioning. We conducted laboratory experiments to examine the effects of shredder identity, diversity, and ontogenetic stage on leaf litter decomposition and fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) production. Three caddisfly shredder taxa (
