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

Parasites impose strong selective pressures on animals, influencing traits from behavior to reproductive strategies. In particular, parasite-mediated selection has been proposed as a major driver of sexual reproduction, as genetic recombination can generate variation that facilitates rapid evolutionary responses to parasites. Accordingly, asexual vertebrates are predicted to be more susceptible to parasites, yet some persist over longer than expected evolutionary timescales. The Amazon molly (
