Osteology of the Feeding Apparatus of Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis (Aves: Phoenicopteridae).
Article in Journal of morphology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Flamingos (Phoenicopteridae) feed using a uniquely adapted bill that extracts small particles from the water and sediments. This study provides a detailed osteological description of the skull of the Chilean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis), with particular emphasis on feeding-related features. The skull exhibits a broad, flattened frontal region that articulates with an elongated upper jaw, which is deflected ventrally at approximately 45° and aligns seamlessly with the laterorostrally curved mandible, forming a configuration well suited for filter feeding. The mandible exhibits a low mechanical advantage, indicating an adaptation for rapid and repetitive movements rather than forceful biting. Jaw muscle attachment sites, including the fossa subtemporalis, fossa temporalis, and fossa ventralis palatini, are reduced, suggesting the presence of relatively small muscles that favor speed and precision.
