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

Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only rocky reefs known in Peruvian territory. This unique ecosystem could explain the presence of a diverse range of fish species. However, due to the difficulty of sampling and accessing reef areas, our knowledge of this biodiversity is incomplete. To address this issue, we used DNA barcoding for the study of the fish biodiversity and revealed patterns that may have influenced their evolution throughout the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP). A fragment of Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) of 177 samples of rocky reef fishes was sequenced. Intra and interspecific K2P distances were calculated and three species delimitation methods (GMYC, PTP, and bPTP) were used to obtain MOTUs. Both analyses support the conformation of additional MOTUs in samples of
