Three-year monitoring of genetic diversity reveals a micro-connectivity pattern and local recruitment in the broadcast marine species Paracentrotus lividus.

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
In conservation and management of marine biological resources, a knowledge of connectivity is necessary to understand how local populations are naturally replenished by the arrival of new recruits from source populations. At small geographical scales, species experiencing moderate to long pelagic larval phases are mostly genetically homogeneous, which hinders inferences about local connectivity. Recent studies demonstrated that assessing genetic relatedness and kinship could provide information about local connectivity in populations with high levels of gene flow. Here, we were interested in deciphering the structure and connectivity of populations of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, by monitoring populations at 11 localities distributed along a 225-km coast-line in the south-eastern French Mediterranean Sea. Using 12 microsatellite loci, we found a weak but significant genetic differentiation and observed a transient genetic differentiation among locations within temporal cohorts, without any correlation with the distance between locations, interpreted as unexplainable chaotic genetic patchiness. Among temporal cohorts, the more related individuals were mainly found within locations and the observed local differentiation (F
