Response and Plasticity of a Cleaning Mutualism Following Short Term Reductions in Habitat Availability.
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
Species interactions, facilitated by animal behaviour, drive global biodiversity, yet species interactions are being disrupted by environmental change across ecosystems. On coral reef ecosystems, cleaning mutualisms where a 'cleaner' species removes parasites from a 'client' species at dedicated cleaning 'stations' on live coral are directly impacted by ongoing declines in live coral due to environmental change. Using cleaning mutualisms as a model system, we hypothesised that reduced habitat availability will result in a decline in mutualism-associated behavioural expression. Through an in situ manipulation experiment on a Caribbean coral reef, we placed nets over obligate cleaner goby (
