Global adaptation to climate change in the twilight zone revealed by shared signals of selection in mesopelagic lanternfishes.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Rapid accumulation of greenhouse gases threatens humanity and global diversity. The oceans absorb 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions annually, but adaptation to climate change by the biotic components of this sink are poorly understood. Lanternfishes (Myctophiformes) are the most abundant vertebrates on the planet by biomass and the dominant mesopelagic vertebrate consumers, thus crucial components of the global carbon cycle. However, it is unknown whether lanternfishes are adapting to global warming and ocean acidification (OA). We hypothesized that warming and OA would act as major shared selective forces across diverse oceanic environments and that disparate taxa would respond in parallel through shared genetic pathways. We used whole-genome sequencing to test this hypothesis by identifying shared signals of selection across lanternfishes from multiple sites in the Atlantic and Pacific spanning three genera (
