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

How wild organisms are responding to climate change is one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. As ectotherms, insects are particularly vulnerable to increases in temperature and extreme weather events because their fitness and survival are directly linked to abiotic conditions. For holometabolous insects with a wide geographic range, it is important to quantify upper thermal and lower hydric limits for multiple populations and life stages that differ in habitat usage and mobility. Population differences in egg survival are understudied despite the importance this life stage plays in population dynamics. As a sessile life stage, eggs likely experience strong selection pressures in response to extreme heat and drought. In this paper, we tested for population and phenotypic differences in egg survival for multiple USA populations of the invasive mosquito vector,
