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

Pangolins are the world`s most trafficked mammalian species classified under family Manidae and face severe threat of extinction, largely due to the illicit trade of its parts and products, especially scales, in international markets. Pangolin scales are believed to be used in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) and meat is used as delicacies in restaurants. Of the eight extant species of pangolin, morphological discrimination is easy but the situation becomes precarious once the scales and meat samples are seized and it is difficult to identify species based on morphology in such cases. However, wildlife DNA forensics has played an instrumental role in the identification of species from such type of materials. The present study investigated that three mitochondrial genes (Cyt b, 16S rRNA, and 12S rRNA) clearly showed the variation among seven extant pangolin species (
