Extraction of DNA from micro-tissue for bat species identification.
Article in Mitochondrial DNA. Part B, Resources, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Bat populations are declining worldwide. Accurate identification is essential to promote species' conservation. However, minimal morphological differences and a high rate of cryptic species make identification difficult, unless voucher specimens are kept, a controversial issue today. The objective of this work was to standardize a method of extracting non-lethal DNA using bats' uropatagium micro-tissue, aiming the molecular identification of species that occur in the region of Maringá PR. The method standardized was efficient, and does not cause serious damage to bats. For future field studies, collection of micro-tissue and morphometry of the specimens will be sufficient for accurate identification.
