Drivers of Thermal Habitat Use in Turtles Studied Under Semi-Natural Conditions.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Understanding which factors predict species sensitivity to climate change requires comparative studies conducted under standardized conditions. Reptiles are particularly vulnerable to climate shifts due to their reliance on external temperatures to regulate body temperature. As such, available environmental temperatures may influence their behavior as they seek more optimal conditions. In this study, we measured thermal habitat use in 73 individuals across nine turtle species housed under semi-natural conditions at a single location. Ambient temperatures within each enclosure were also recorded every 20 min for 3 months to determine the range of thermal options available, yielding over 650,000 data points. We then compared experienced habitat temperatures to environmental conditions across the native range of each species. Experienced habitat temperatures generally aligned with native conditions. However, several species-including
