Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals. To address these discrepancies, previous studies have proposed two demographic/genetic scenarios for cloud forests based on contrasting precipitation regimes. Here, we apply a multiproxy approach to extinct proboscideans, commonly referred to as gomphotheres, from Ecuador to assess the extent to which wet- and dry-forest models shaped environmental conditions on the coast and in the Inter-Andean Valley during the Late Pleistocene. Fossil molars were analyzed using stable isotope analysis, dental microwear analysis, and radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dates obtained from the sampled gomphotheres span
