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 freshwater pleurodiran turtle Neochelys is the best-represented member of Podocnemididae in the European record, being known by eight Eocene species. The youngest of them is the Bartonian (middle Eocene) Neochelys salmanticensis, from the Duero Basin (Salamanca Province, Central Spain). It corresponds to the largest representative known for this genus, its shell reaching 50 cm in length. Despite this form was defined several decades ago, the information currently available on it is very limited, being restricted to shell remains of less than 10 individuals. In fact, this species lacks a valid diagnosis, considering the current knowledge about the genus. Numerous remains (i.e., more than 1,200) of the shell of this Spanish species are identified. Its detailed study is presented here, so that the anatomy of its shell is characterized in detail. In addition, several aspects related to its intraspecific variability are analyzed, relative to the individual, ontogenetic, and sexual variability. In this way, the shell of N. salmanticensis can be characterized with greater precision than that of any other species of the genus.
