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

The mandibular glands and the tergal glands have been suggested to play a crucial role in queen pheromone production. However, very few studies have linked changes in mandibular and tergal gland morphology to variations in their pheromone secretions. In this study, we aimed to reveal the age-related morphological development of these glands based on the morphological images and traits. We provided detailed information about how the mandibles, the mandibular glands, and the tergal glands changed in
