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

Desert environments pose severe water scarcity challenges, leading to unique adaptations among native fauna. Notably, many species of desert horned lizards utilize a dermal drinking method, employing integumental microchannels to draw water from raindrops and moist soils via capillary action. However, the exact mechanism by which they eventually move the water collected between their jaws into their mouths remains elusive. Our research investigates this critical step in the drinking of desert horned lizards,
