Cranial Osteology of Fona herzogae (Dinosauria: Thescelosaurinae) from the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The North American thescelosaurine ornithischian Fona herzogae (Cenomanian Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation) is represented by one of the largest samples of isolated cranial elements among early diverging neornithischians. Here, we present a comprehensive cranial description of F. herzogae, utilizing advanced digitization and visualization techniques to reconstruct individual elements in high resolution with a particular focus on taxonomically and phylogenetically significant morphology. The abundance of disarticulated cranial material permits comprehensive documentation of individual elements from multiple orientations, substantially expanding the known cranial anatomy of F. herzogae and improving character evaluation across Thescelosauridae. We use these new anatomical details, together with targeted character revisions and firsthand recoding of Koreanosaurus, to improve resolution among thescelosaurid evolutionary relationships. Our analyses recover Koreanosaurus within Thescelosaurinae, strengthen support for the inclusion of several Asian taxa within this clade, and reinforce a biogeographic distinction between an Asian-North American Thescelosaurinae and a geographically restricted North American Orodrominae.
