Investigating a Potential Bias in Resurrection Experiments to Measure Adaptive Evolution of Flowering Time.
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 persistence under climate change often depends on rapid evolutionary responses to increasingly extreme conditions. Resurrection experiments are a valuable approach for tracking the rate of adaptive evolution: ancestral propagules are stored, then later revived and grown alongside descendants, exposing shifts in trait values that indicate evolutionary change. However, even under the best storage conditions, ancestral propagules age and eventually a fraction die. If propagule longevity in storage is non-random and genetically correlated with a trait of interest, bias is introduced to the ancestral trait baseline, consequently distorting estimates of adaptive evolution. To understand the degree to which non-random ancestral propagule loss biases resurrection experiments, we simulated long-term seed aging of the annual
