The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb-Web Spider
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
Animal coloration is a complex trait useful for studying adaptive evolution. In consequence, a major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic and developmental basis underlying coloration in animals and thus establish direct links between genetic and phenotype variability. Genomics tools have contributed the identification the specific genes and variants responsible for color variation in nonmodel animals, but the evidence is biased toward some taxa, while groups such as arachnids have been neglected. In this study, we aimed to identify genes that underlie coloration in spiders and generate genomic resources for these organisms. By deep sequencing RNA-seq libraries from yellow, orange, white, and black female morphs of the color polymorphic spider
