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

Evolutionary divergence in body size is common in animal adaptive radiations and is often associated with differences in key ecological traits, including habitat use and prey consumption. Here we characterize a notable case of body size-associated adaptive radiation in a group of predatory open water cichlid fish species from the Lake Malawi catchment. Using whole-genome sequences, we show that body size differences have evolved multiple times in the focal genus,
