Identification and phylogenetic analysis of marine sponges in the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba using DNA barcoding.

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
Sponges (Porifera) are the largest biomass component of coral reefs benthic fauna among marine organisms and are very morphologically diverse. In the present work, we aimed to identify marine sponges in the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba using the partial 18S rRNA and the 28S rRNA genes as DNA barcoding markers. A total of nine morphologically different marine sponge samples from 6.6m to approximately 22m depth were collected. Sponge fragments were frozen at -80 °C prior to DNA extraction. The sponge's DNA was extracted using a commercial kit and subjected directly to PCR amplification for the 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA genes. The DNA sequences were analyzed using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to determine the sponge's identity, and phylogenetic trees were constructed to clarify the relationship among the samples. The results obtained revealed the presence of the following genera:
