Phylogeographical structure and demographic expansion in the endemic alpine stream salamander (Hynobiidae: Batrachuperus) of the Qinling Mountains.

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 Qinling Mountains of China provide an excellent study area for assessing the effect of Pleistocene climatic oscillations and paleogeological events on intraspecific diversification. To assess genetic diversity of an endemic stream salamander, Batrachuperus tibetanus, for its conservation, a phylogeographical survey was performed based on mitochondrial DNA and morphological data. The mitochondrial data revealed three lineages of B. tibetanus in the Qinling Mountains. A lineage present in the northwestern Qinling Mountains groups with the Tibet lineage of B. tibetanus, and the remaining Qinling populations are eastern and western lineages that separated ~3-4 million years ago (Ma). The eastern and western Qinling lineage delineation is supported by three morphological variables (snout length, eye diameter and axilla-groin length). The divergence of the two major lineages was likely caused by orogenesis of the Qinling Mountains during the late Cenozoic, and the two lineages were subsequently affected at different levels by Pleistocene climatic oscillations showing different signals of demographic expansion. A large suitable area of B. tibetanus through the Qinling Mountains since the last glacial maximum (LGM) indicated the adaptation of this species to the climatic changes. However, low genetic diversity within populations indicate the urgency of preserving the vulnerable populations and endemic lineages.
