1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Species may respond to climate change by shifting habitats. For species that engage in obligate interactions, however, such range shifts are only possible if the interaction can occur in the extended range, either via dispersal of the original interaction partner or by acquisition of a novel interaction partner in the extended range. To explore how obligate interactions may persist by parallel dispersal of partners, we investigated the community of obligate fig wasps associated with an isolated fig tree (
