Energy Allocation Explains How Protozoan Phenotypic Traits Change in Response to Temperature and Resource Supply.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To survive and reproduce, living organisms need to maintain an efficient balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Changes in environmental conditions can disrupt previously efficient energy allocation strategies, and organisms are required to change their behaviour, physiology, or morphology to cope with the new environment. However, how multiple phenotypic traits interact with one another and with environmental conditions to shape energy allocation remains poorly understood. To better understand this type of phenotype-environment interactions, we develop a predictive framework, grounded in energetic and biophysical principles that allows us to make predictions on how metabolic rate and movement speed should change in response to environmental temperature and resource supply, differentiating between short-term, acute exposure to novel conditions and longer-term exposure that allows acclimation or adaptation. We tested these predictions by exposing axenic populations of the ciliate
