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

Facing geographical barriers, phenotypic responses of migratory landbirds may differ even between closely related taxa: some may bypass barriers while others cross them. Such phenotypic variation can arise from different genetic backgrounds and lead to different adaptive processes. A classic example is migratory divide, i.e., breeding ranges where different migration-route phenotypes co-exist or meet. Such variation can facilitate an understanding of the evolutionary background of migration and responses to barriers. In Asia, a migratory divide has been suggested in response to the major landscape, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) for 2 stonechat taxa (Siberian stonechat
