Metabarcoding of Fish Larvae in the Merbok River Reveals Species Diversity and Distribution Along its Mangrove Environment.

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 Merbok River (north-west of Peninsular Malaysia) is a mangrove estuary that provides habitat for over 100 species of fish, which are economically and ecologically important. Threats such as habitat loss and overfishing are becoming a great concern for fisheries conservation and management. The identification of larval fish in this estuarine system is important to complement information on the adults. This is because the data could inform the spawning behaviour, reproductive biology, selection of nursery grounds and migration route of fish. Such information is invaluable for fisheries and aquatic environmental monitoring, and thus for their conservation and management. However, identifying fish larvae is a challenging task based only on morphology and even traditional DNA barcoding. To address this, DNA metabarcoding was utilised to detect the diversity of fish in the Merbok River. To complete the study, the fish larvae were collected at six sampling sites of the river. The extracted larval DNA was amplified for the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit 1 (
