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

Deep-sea shrimps from the family Alvinocarididae are prominent inhabitants of chemosynthesis-based habitats worldwide. However, their genetic diversity and population connectivity remain poorly understood due to limited sampling. To fill these knowledge gaps, we compared the population genetics of two vent- and seep-dwelling alvinocaridid species with overlapped geographic ranges between the South China Sea and the Manus Basin. Alvinocaris longirostris has a wider distribution, ranging from 35°N to 3°S and at depths of 930 to 1736 m, while Alvinocaris kexueae is more restricted, found between 16°N and 3°S at depths of 1300 to 1910 m. Our analysis, based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene, revealed that A. longirostris had lower genetic diversity and minimal genetic differentiation across eight disjoint vent and seep populations. In contrast, the narrower-distributed A. kexueae exhibited higher genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation, with stronger gene flow observed from its Haima seep population to the Manus Basin vent population. In addition, both species appear to have experienced population expansion in their recent evolutionary history. These results suggest that A. longirostris and A. kexueae may possess distinct life-history traits that contribute to their differing distribution ranges in the Western Pacific.
