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

Speciation in marine taxa is dynamic and complex, often occurring in the absence of absolute geographic barriers to gene flow. Boobies comprise a clade of seven highly mobile seabird species with high diversity in the eastern Pacific Ocean, where no land barriers separate extant sister species and hybridization is widespread. They exhibit striking diversity in bare-part coloration, an important signal of mate quality, and possess a novel multiple sex chromosome system (Z
