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 aim of this study was to select a candidate deep-sea amphipod species suitable for connectivity analyses in areas around cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts (CRCs). We applied DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial protein-coding gene, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), to specimens collected from the Xufu Guyot (the JA06 Seamount) off southeastern Minami-Torishima Island in the North Pacific, where CRCs are distributed. We used baited traps to collect 37 specimens. Comparison of COI sequences with public reference databases (GenBank, BOLD) showed that almost all of the specimens belonged to the superfamily Lysianassoidea, which is known to be ubiquitous in deep-sea areas. In a molecular taxonomic analysis of these sequences, we detected 11 clades. One of these clades (group 9) composed of 18 sequences and was identified by DNA barcoding as a putative species belonging to Abyssorchomene, which has been reported from the New Hebrides Trench in the South Pacific. We considered this species to be a candidate for connectivity analysis and analyzed its genome by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. The results showed that the genetic variation in this species is adequate for analyzing connectivity patterns in CRC areas in the future.
