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

Variations in sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have important consequences for animal ecology, behavior, population dynamics, and the evolution of life-history traits, and can be explained by many intraspecific and interpopulation hypotheses. Urbanization is an important factor that affects anuran phenotypic characteristics (including morphology), but how it impacts anuran SSD has been explored less widely. In this study, we aimed to investigate the differences in SSD in two dominant amphibian species populations; that is, the Hong Kong rice-paddy frog (
