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 species-rich subgenus Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) has become one of the best studied groups of Palearctic blue butterflies (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae). However, the identity and phylogenetic position of some rare taxa from Iran have remained unclear. An enigmatic, recently described Central Iranian species Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) shirkuhensis ten Hagen et Eckweiler, 2001 has been considered as a taxon closely related either to Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) eckweileri ten Hagen, 1998 or to Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) baltazardi (de Lesse, 1962). Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) baltazardi, in its turn, was treated as a taxon close to Iranian-Pakistani Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) bogra Evans, 1932. Here we used a combination of molecular and chromosomal markers to show that none of these hypotheses was true. Instead, Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) shirkuhensis was recovered as a member of a species group close to Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) cyaneus (Staudinger, 1899). From genetically closest species, Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) kermansis (de Lesse, 1962), Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) cyaneus and Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) sennanensis (de Lesse, 1959), it differs by the wing coloration. From morphologically similar Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) mofidii (de Lesse, 1963) and Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) sorkhensis Eckweiler, 2003, it differs by its chromosome number, n=21. Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) bogra and Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) baltazardi were found to be members of two different species groups and, thus, are not closely related.
